CSIRO Drift Analysis

MH370 drift

"Analysis of the trajectories of satellite-tracked drifting buoys deployed in the Indian Ocean over the last 30 years confirms our earlier conclusion based on computer modelling that the MH370 flaperon found on La Reunion in July 2015 is consistent with MH370 having crashed near the 39°S-32°S segment of the 7th arc on 8 March 2014."

Much more detailed discussion follows, including buoyancy, wind effects, barnacle growth, etc.

Linked from ATSB weekly operational update.
