DOTSTAR（台湾地区附近台风监测的落风观测）是一项由台湾气象学家与美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）飓风研究部（HRD）和国家环境预测中心（NCEP）的科学家合作进行的国际研究计划。该实验是基于NOAA的湾流-IV喷气式飞机在大西洋进行的成功监视任务。在实验期间，GPS落风探空仪被释放从一架喷气式飞机飞行超过42000英尺的热带气旋接近台湾和周围收集关键的气象数据，以提高分析和预测台风。经过一年的培训，开发和安装所有必要的软件和硬件在飞机上，DOTSTAR研究小组开始台风监测在2003年。成功地进行了两次飞行任务（台风杜鹃和梅洛），预计在2004年和2005年台风季节每年将进行七、八次飞行任务。目前的手稿提供了DOTSTAR的科学目标的概述，包括操作计划，组织，数据管理和数据存档。介绍了2003年第一季两次任务的初步结果。该实验标志着西北太平洋台风监测的开始，预计将在台风研究、观测和预报方面取得令人印象深刻的进展。
DOTSTAR (Dropwindsonde Observations for Typhoon Surveillance near the Taiwan Region) is an international research program conducted by meteorologists in Taiwan partnered with scientists at the Hurricane Research Division (HRD) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The experiment is based on successful surveillance missions conducted in the Atlantic with NOAA's Gulfstream-IV jet aircraft. During the experiment, GPS dropwindsondes are released from a jet aircraft flying above 42000 ft in and around tropical cyclones approaching Taiwan to collect critical meteorological data for improving the analysis and the prediction of typhoons. After one-year of training, development and installation of all the needed software and hardware in the aircraft, the DOTSTAR research team initiated typhoon surveillance in 2003. Two missions (in Typhoons Dujuan and Melor) were conducted successfully,and seven or eight missions are expected to be conducted annually during the 2004 and 2005 typhoon seasons. The current manuscript provides an overview of the scientific objectives of DOTSTAR including operational plans, organization, data management, and data archiving. Preliminary results of the two missions in the first season in 2003 are presented. The experiment marks the beginning of typhoon surveillance in the western North Pacific and is expected to yield impressive improvements in typhoon research, observations and forecasting.
