Popis: We used daily sea surface temperature (SST) data and hourly drifter data to investigate ocean responses to tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and outer size (wind radius of 34 kt, or R34) in the Northwest Pacific. Results showed that SST cooling is more sensitive to TC R34 than to TC intensity; namely, TCs with a larger R34 cause stronger SST cooling regardless of their intensity. TCs with an R34 ≥125 nmi could cool SST 0.9°C more than TCs with an R34
