Scientist claims examining cloud changes can help trace missing MH370

An Australian scientist, Aron Gingis claims that it is possible to trace the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 by examining cloud changes for proofs of vapour trails caused by burning fuel emissions from the aircraft.

Gingis specializes in cloud microphysics, heads the environmental consultancy firm Australian Management Consolidated, and he was also a former Monash University academic, News 24 reported.

Gingis said that he has used the technology to locate shipwrecks in the north Pacific Ocean by identifying ship trails and the changes in cloud microphysics caused by emissions of floating vessels using archival satellite data.

Mr Gingis said he was able to track ship trails in the North Pacific Ocean by identifying fuel vapour emissions present in the cloud seen on the left of this archival satellite image and can do the same with MH370, report said.

He said that he believes that there is a realistic chance to follow flight path of Malaysian Airline MH370 and follow its flight direction and possibly identifying its landing or crash site, Gingis wrote to the Malaysian High Commissioner Eldeen Husaini in an email dated April 3 - less than a month after the plane vanished.
