Ocean Infinity's Armada 78 06 vessel continues its search for the seafloor debris field of #MH370. Images below show the broader features of the present search & A78-06's track as it follows AUVs. The AUV endurance will dictate recoveries over the next 24hrs. Refer to ALT text for more detail.

A brief update on progress by Armada 78 06 for #MH370 search this morning, 13th March. AUVs continue to acquire seafloor imagery using side scan sonar over this particularly difficult region. Note the, apparently, blurred areas in the image - these are low res from SRTM dataset, not local MBES. ⏹️

Ocean Infinity's 2nd 'swing' to locate #MH370 underway. The bathymetry for the present work area shows E-W oriented escarpments. Black boundary line depicts the extent of Ocean Infinity's 2018 seafloor search campaign. Vessel track & bathymetry, centred S36.4º E92.0º, view approx 60km x 36km. ⬇️

#MH370 The perils of predictions. This renewed search has both been months in the preparation, first spoken of with some certainty a year ago, and also fraught with official ambiguity in Malaysia. ⬇️

I remember, decades ago, a young Liam Smeeth running into my office saying “we’ve got the results of the analysis: MMR vaccine doesn’t cause autism”. I gave him a high five and told him to get writing that paper.

Some background to this, renewed, search. Ocean Infinity followed through on its commitment to return to the '7th arc' and search again for the wreckage of #MH370, a Boeing 777 lost 11 years ago ⬇️

Second 'swing' of Ocean Infinity's 2025 #MH370 search beginning. Shortly, Armada 78-06 will begin launching AUVs. Indications from present course & first 'swing' is that a section of escarpment around S35.25º E93.338º needs attention. H/T x-com/LabratSR AIS data: bigoceandata-com
