“…In this sense, the cold wake size can thus provide another measurement of TC size and broaden our understanding of their impacts on the climate. TC size, in addition to TC intensity, has been found to be vital to TC intensification and TC‐induced damage in recent years (Carrasco et al, ; Chavas et al, ; Guo & Tan, ; Knutson et al, ; Lin & Chavas, ; Xu & Wang, ). Almost all current size metrics of TCs, however, are derived from atmospheric features, such as wind, sea level pressure, rainfall, and clouds (Chavas et al, ; Chavas & Emanuel, ; Kimball & Mulekar, ; Knaff et al, ; Lin et al, ; Merrill, ).…”
