Short summary
In this study, we found that the apparent impact of landscape changes due to urbanization is far beyond a localized effect limited in a relatively shallow layer of atmosphere above a city. Instead, it can effectively penetrate into the deep layer of atmosphere above cities up to kilometres in height. Some of the landscape characteristics, e.g., the urban morphology, even exhibit peculiar (nonlinear) effect that challenges our intuitive thinking and invites further investigations.
