That is exactly how I would locate MH 370. Now I would return to the same arc and release far fewer, but larger, particles to give a better idea of where MH 370 is. I would use particles ranging in size from the smallest found, to that of the largest. There is no way to figure where a particle will drift to, because we have no way of knowing all the forces it is being subjected to. However, we can pickup a particle, know where it originated and search that area. I want to find that plane
The mh370 is in the bottom of Indian Ocean. The question is? Why is mh370 is difficult to locate? Simple answer is. We haven't explore the ocean as much almost 71% of earths surface is saltwater then the land mass is 29% as you compare there is big difference. Any wreckage of plane crash in the ocean will be difficult to locate. And one of the factors also that's mh370 is difficult to find is the depth of the ocean that approximately 3 kilometers below the ocean floor including the intense pressure on the water surface
As another poster has said MH370 lies in the Gulf of Thailand. The assumption, based on reflector tracking, that it made a left turn and went down in the Indian Ocean is completely wrong.
I wonder how can they be certain of the arrival date of a particular debris at a beach in madascar. The debris might be have been laying near or ar the beach for months till found
people also have to realize the wreckage on the bottom wont be a plane parked. it will be engines and heavier components and fuselage parts that are not air filled like sealed pockets on flaps.
I found MH370 wreckage end of summer 2018, regards Mako, seeker in Finland. Take a look my RU-vid channel video clips and you see it, i really found it, no doubt.
