January 16, 2017: Just as I predicted would eventually happen (back on December 16, 2014), the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has ended their search for the MH370 plane crash wreckage in their search area without ever finding MH370 in it: Underwater search of 120,000 square-kilometre area in the southern Indian Ocean completed. Wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 not found there. Malaysia, China and Australia announce decision to suspend the underwater search. "Paul Kennedy, the project director of Fugro – the Dutch company leading the search – acknowledged on Thursday [July 21, 2016] that, if the plane was not found there, "it means it's somewhere else"."

Inmarsat Data Plot with Estimated Burst Frequency Offset (Hz) values added

Hover over image to open it in a larger view.

I added estimated Burst Frequency Offset (Hz) values to Inmarsat's "MH370 measured data against predicted tracks" plot.

Various news organizations are quoting Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein as saying that the raw data from Inmarsat will be released on Tuesday, May 27: "This is what I have been told and that it will be released tomorrow."

My Estimated Burst Frequency Offset (Hz) values

Data   UTC    Hz
Point  Time   Offset
1      16:30   88.54
2      16:40  125.00
3      16:56  158.33
4      17:07  132.29
5      18:23  272.92
6      18:25  175.00
7      18:27  142.71
8      19:40  112.50
9      20:40  140.63
10     21:40  167.71
11     22:40  203.13
12     00:11  252.08


    Time margin of error: +/- 2 min
    Hz margin of error +/- 2.08 Hz

Notes:

1) In a previous post with time stamps added, I showed the xx:40 times as xx:41 because of MH370's take off time of 16:41:43. However, due to the granularity of the tool I'm using to estimate the values on the Inmarsat Data Plot, I am showing the times as xx:40 in this post. There is a margin of error of + or - 2 minutes for all of my time estimates.
2) There is a margin of error of + or - 2.08 Hz for all of my offset estimates.
3) I have seen various news reports about the total number of measured Inmarsat data points and the number of measured data points received after the ACARS was disabled. The plot released by Inmarsat shows a total of 12 measured data points from 16:30 UTC to 00:11 UTC.
