  1. Why active piloting would stop after 18-30? -> lower apparent speed -> location closer to equator -> flaperon timing

  2. An analysis not to be missed. Currents are more consistent with sites closer to pinger hunt > more turns after FMT?

  3. the speedups could be had either due to losing altitude or burning more fuel. however, course velocities unwrinkle with higher alitudes

  4. Great work, though factual currents (eg NOAA OSCAR) are yet to be utilized instead of generic current models

  5. in Feb 2015 France retrieved hydrophones which have the best chance of recording SIO impact. Hope ATSB aware

  6. Python code and UTM47N coordinates for digitized track (from Lido image and FI)

  7. speed increases happen prior to climbs. 1st climb post Kota Bharu, 2nd before Penang, 3rd - b/w VAMPI & MEKAR (upd pstebin to 1822)

  8. sped up to 530+kts 3 times - at 17-37, 17-45, 18-14, for 3-4 minutes each time. Overall, primary radar data pieces fit OK

  9. My take on altitude/speed of - alt loosely adjusted to limit speed variation along primary radar track.

  10. Have you seen IG explain why they chose to use Lido data as starting point? Can't find this discussed on

  11. Or can try edge detector in your favourite image editor. I don't understand exactly how they work, so not using those. Copy over geodta aftr

  12. upd GIS b/u, now with DMSP data and my path sketch based on LWIR d/dx(or y) features.

  13. Earliest commercial imagery was acquired in current search area on 19/03. Heavy cloud cover mostly

  14. Updated images 21-Apr-15 (fix 1hr time zone offset for Electro-L images, add MetopB pass and FY2D/2E (GEO)

  15. Relevant images I have now. I recommend you use free QuantumGIS and add images as raster layers. Enjoy!

  16. I've figured out projection issues with NPP images, here are GeoTIFFs for chans 4&5. Try to spot final turn!

  17. Or like this, similar to turn (Ch4). There are quite a few tracks.

  18. Thx to Suomi NPP, we've got a last turn. 18:55, IR Ch4-Ch5. Also passed AQUA@19:09,CALIPSO@19:11,FY3B@19:42

  19. Kirill Prostyakov followed , , and 49 others
  20. This is my attempt to reconstruct whole path based on 30min intvl IR Electro-L images. Rather dodgy obviously
