Implication

Comparative analysis reveals urban surfaces influence thunderstorm dynamics and lightning activities in varying city sizes.

Key Points

  • Urban underlying surfaces significantly affect thunderstorm processes and related lightning activities, impacting disaster responses.
  • Cloud-to-ground lightning activity clustered differently, with smaller cities seeing more concentration in city centers.
  • Numerical simulations highlighted the barrier effect of urban areas, affecting cold pool dynamics and thunderstorm behavior.
  • Findings suggest that understanding urban surfaces can enhance lightning disaster forecasting and urban planning strategies.
