Supply operations have always been intimately affected by the weather, but in the past there were no advanced meteorological facilities on Taiping Island, so there was always a complete lack of information about atmospheric conditions in the surrounding area.
運補作業和天候狀況一向關係密切，但太平島上沒有精良的氣象設施，所以附近空域的氣象資料一直付之闕如。
