The converted commercial airliner is equipped with an instrument that can measure a hurricane’s wind profile from ground to the aircraft’s height.

The value of maximum diameter, minimum diameter, height percentage measured by the instrument are traceable to Shenzhen Calibration Station of AQSIQ and national measurement standards.
