Taiwan also has its "wind chasers." It's just that in this case twisters have been swapped for typhoons, and jeeps for a jet. Since September of 2003, the DOTSTAR research team, organized by the department and graduate institute of atmospheric sciences at National Taiwan University (NTU), has completed 28 flights to study 24 typhoons over and around Taiwan, successfully deploying 457 "Dropsonde" weather reconnaissance devices.
同樣的「追風」場景，也在台灣上演著，只不過這次龍捲風換成了颱風、吉普車換成了飛機；從 2003 年 9 月至今，由台灣大學大氣科學系所組成的「追風計劃」研究團隊，已針對 24 個接近台灣的颱風，完成 28 航次的飛機偵察，並成功投擲 457 枚「投落送」大氣探空儀。
