Fig. 1

Bathymetry (units: m) of the South China Sea (SCS) and the track of Typhoon Conson (the red line with circles). The size of red circle indicates the magnitude of wind speed, and the eight yellow dots denote the locations for validation. The black pentagram indicates the position of ACDP mooring station. The time denotes the date using the format of month/day"
