New details about MH370 search come to light
New insights into the search for missing Boeing 777, and what happens the moment the jet is found, were explained at a briefing for members of the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute in Perth recently. Paul Kennedy, MH370 Search Project Director, Fugro Survey, took the audience through the same induction video shown to recruits before they joined the three vessels that are sonar scanning the priority zones in the southern Indian Ocean that are believed most likely to contain the sunk… (blogs.crikey.com.au) और अधिक...

Ho Hum another no where nothing post. Until the AC is found give it up all it amounts to is nothing again.
The only new detail would be in finding this jet, where Inmarsat said it would be. Personally, I don't think it's in the southern Indian Ocean - and I've stated that time and again.
From the article quote: "...which had mapped its features and their depths with sufficient accuracy to prevent deep sea ‘tow fish’ or sonar scanning platforms being towed into the side of underwater obstacles like volcanic craters while surveying the terrain from a height of around 100 metres.
On that map MH370 would only have been a small dot, and it is of course covered in dots, and often convoluted terrain, with deep fissures and troughs and sea mounts and cliffs."
Then it goes on to say that MH370 would only be 1/2 millimeter in length. Is anyone else confused by this?
If the sonar is 100 meters above a 777 that is roughly 60 meters long and 60 meters wide, it should fill the sensor image area. Or if it's not in one piece, the debris field should be apparent.
By my calculations that would subtend a viewing angle of 17 degrees which is and should cover most of the scanner's view. Even if it was 1000 meters above the 777 it would still subtend an angle of about 2 degrees which would also be a lot bigger than 1/2 millimeter on the sensor.

Actually it's 34 degrees at 100 meters and 3.4 degrees at 1000 meters. I forgot to multiply by 2.
No thing new here. Just a conference explaining to the uninitiated details about the search.
Its all been out there in cyberland for over two years and the ATSB/JACC/Malaysian/NTSB/AAIB/BEA sites and information.

It's all been out there for OVER two years eh? MH370 disappeared on March 8 2014, that was last year (only just). As of this date (25/12/2015) it's a little over 3 months until the 2nd anniversary, hardly "OVER 2 years ago".
Yep made an oops but still it all in cyberland and the ATSB/JACC/Malaysian/NTSB/AAIB/BEA. Data on the 777 avionics and structure, Inmarsat data, Interim report and Fugro search operations and ship locations. Video presentations on progress, meetings and senate funding explanations.
