However, current research on this phenomenon is still in its infancy. This paper aimed to analyze the influence of the urban underlying surface on the evolution of thunderstorm organization through ground observation and numerical simulation. The results indicated that when the thunderstorm system with strong synoptic conditions passed through the built-up area of Beijing, it exhibited obvious bifurcation and detour. The dynamic field of near-surface cold pools could serve as diagnostic indicators for understanding how the urban underlying surface affects the thunderstorm process. The large-scale compact-rise clusters in the city center could alter the movement direction and path of the cold pool outflow, thereby influencing the thunderstorm organization process. In addition to the spatial configuration of the building complex, the city size might also be an important factor influencing the thunderstorm process. This study might provide a fundamental foundation and technical support for predicting and assessing urban thunderstorm disasters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16081390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,15]],"date-time":"2024-04-15T03:56:13Z","timestamp":1713153373000},"page":"1390","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Observation Analysis and Numerical Simulation of the Urban Barrier Effect on Thunderstorm Organization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Tongling University, Tongling 244000, China"},{"name":"Anhui Engineering Research Center of Intelligent Manufacturing of Copper-Based Materials, Tongling 244000, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanjian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Physics, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Gaopeng","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangcheng","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhu Meteorological Administration, Wuhu 241000, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhu Meteorological Administration, Wuhu 241000, China"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Tongling University, Tongling 244000, China"},{"name":"Anhui Engineering Research Center of Intelligent Manufacturing of Copper-Based Materials, Tongling 244000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1273","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0450(2003)042<1273:PACOAU>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Patterns and causes of Atlantas urban heat island-initiated precipitation","volume":"42","author":"Dixon","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
