Search weeks of on board Malaysia Airlines MH370 has not produced results . Australia , as a search coordinator MH370 , then switch to a group that understands the intricacies of the ocean : oceanographer land of kangaroos .
The experts came from the Institute of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Australia , under the auspices of national science agency . Briefing the team obtained based in Hobart , Tasmania , is clear : the identification of areas likely to bring the trace MH370 .
Efforts to solve the mystery of the Boeing 777-200 aircraft , however , reveal limitations in knowledge and the most advanced marine technology .
" If we are not able to know what is going on in the ocean , this task will be in vain , " said David Griffin , a senior principal investigator at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization ( CSIRO ) who helped search . However , " We know that , within certain limits , to what is actually happening in the ocean , " he said ..
Over the years , Griffin and his team developed a computer model of the world's foremost . They hope the model was able to find answers to a variety of scenarios at sea , like that which MH370 .
When it appears on the screen , their model showed a map with dazzling colors . Map is an overview of the situation at sea , in the form of eddy currents and climate variations .
When running the computer program , Griffin refers to a rectangular area dotted black . What he pointed exemplifies the distribution area of debris on the surface of the sea . Before long , the points separate suddenly gushed like a flock of birds panic . Whim of wind and currents carry spreading in all directions .
However , here's the clever part of the program : By reversing the process , if we know the location of the object that is now floating , then we can estimate the object 's position in the past . Or more specifically , on March 8 at 08:30 am local time , estimated time of the crash into the sea .
The technique is the best hope for the CSIRO to guide the No. squadron . 10 Royal Australian Navy and the search team to the final location MH370 .
On the other hand , the most important piece of data in a mathematical model of this would have not been found : a piece of debris that could certainly come from the plane . If the starting point is not there , Griffin and his team must apply to the object model of the satellite captured . In fact , these objects can never really associated with the MH370 .
Even if there is a piece of debris , CSIRO scientists continue to emphasize that water conditions could change randomly . The changing nature of the model was able to conquer the most sophisticated computer .
The accuracy of the model , said Griffin , also continued to decrease over time . CSIRO technology generates a representation of the pattern of ocean currents in the past . The longer period of time , more and more also " guess " that must be taken by the computer so that the reliability of the model was also thinning .
