| Jul 23, 2014 at 5:13 | comment | added | user2168 | Net acceleration west is not inconsistent with eastbound movement. You do not understand the relationship between acceleration and velocity. | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 2:55 | comment | added | user2357 | The alleged flight south along the coast of Sumatra back towards the Southern Arc recede away from the satellite yet for the same period (from 19:41 UTC) the BOF chart shows acceleration towards INMARSAT. That is illogical. | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 2:52 | comment | added | user2357 | The alleged MH370 track through the Straits of Malacca towards INMARSAT are not a "deceleration" but are flight towards the satellite. | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 2:50 | comment | added | user2357 | From 17:07 UTC the BOF chart shows net acceleration towards the satellite (via constant frequency increase) at a time when radar observation proves the target receded east until at least 17:22 UTC, therefore the BOF chart data is at odds with the known flight path up to 17:22 UTC. That is not a false premise. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 21:33 | comment | added | user2168 | @user2357 Deceleration is acceleration. If you're heading west and slowing down, you're accelerating eastward. If you're heading east and slowing down, you're accelerating westward. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 21:30 | comment | added | user2357 | @ Articuno thank you for defining the problem in your position. According to the BOF chart there is not a net acceleration between 18:25 UTC and 19:41 UTC, there is a net deceleration. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 5:30 | comment | added | user2168 | @user2357 That is false. When the frequency is increasing there has only to be a net acceleration towards the satellite, not necessarily a closure of distance westwards. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 5:19 | comment | added | user2357 | A Doppler shift is a reflection of signal compression (towards INMARSAT) or expansion (away from INMARSAT). Where the frequency is increasing there has to be a net closure of distance westwards. | |
| May 16, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | user2168 | But changes in the doppler shift (relative velocity) would be caused by acceleration. That was what I was trying to say. | |
| May 16, 2014 at 19:03 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | Doppler shift is proportional to relative velocity, not acceleration. | |
