We were on final approach for Runway 35 at PHL conducting a Flaps 22 visual approach and landing. Conditions were VMC and we were configured for landing by 1;000 ft. and stable by 800 ft. in accordance with policies requiring the aircraft to be configured by 1;000 ft. and stable by 500 ft. in visual conditions. We were notified by the Tower that an aircraft was landing on the intersecting 27R runway and that we were cleared to land on Runway 35. During my landing flare as we crossed the [Runway] 27R intersection we encountered wake turbulence from the previous arrival. The left wing suddenly dipped and I felt the aircraft enter only what I can describe as an enhanced ground effect where the aircraft was not sinking at the rate that it was prior to crossing the intersection. Due to this condition I felt as though the aircraft would not be able to touchdown in the Runway 35 TDZ and I called for and executed a go around. We completed the go around maneuver successfully and were vectored back around for a visual approach to RWY 27R where we landed uneventfully and taxied to the gate.The FO (First Officer) and I felt the wing dip and the aircraft began floating and my sink rate had ceased.I believe the cause of the wing dip and enhanced ground effect was due to wake turbulence from the previous RWY 27R arrival. This all happened as soon as we were over the [Runways] 27R/35 intersection in the landing flare. The aircraft was sinking normally during my flare prior to crossing the intersection.Feeling as though a touchdown in the touchdown zone would no longer be possible I elected to go around.Prior to this event I have landed on [Runway] 35 many times after an arrival on the intersecting runway and felt the wake of the landing aircraft. In this instance the effects of what we encountered far exceeded what I have ever felt before. Perhaps more information could be distributed to the flight crews regarding any other similar events if there is a pattern of this occurring.
Reporter stated more ATC awareness is needed in the area of possible wake from intersecting runways.
Air Carrier Captain reported executing a go-around after encountering wake turbulence from previous arrival on an intersecting runway.
