Location and design of the mooring system and bathymetric map of the northern South China Sea. (a) The pink curves represent the ISWs observed in satellite and ASAR images44, which are the largest amplitude waves in the world2,45. Common conditions for the propagation of ISWs on the surface are illustrated, and most ISWs propagate in the WNW direction. The white outlines denote the regions where bottom nepheloid layers were observed by the multibeam swath bathymetric system. W1 and T1 are the locations of the mooring system. T2, T3 and T4 are the locations that were used for In situ investigation. Bathymetry data are generated by Surfer 12.0 (Golden Software, Inc.) and are downloaded from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/. (b) The vertical mooring structure at sites W1 and T1.
