The mode of operation is that each time a typhoon is likely to affect the seas or territory of Taiwan, the researchers climb into their small jet before the storm arrives and fly into the airspace above the storm system. There they throw off between 15 and 20 Dropsonde devices to collect meteorological information about the typhoon.
它的執行方式是每當颱風有可能影響台灣海域及陸地前，由研究人員搭乘小型噴射機，飛行至侵台颱風周圍環流的上空，投擲十數枚「投落送」，以蒐集颱風的大氣資料。
