澳大利亚调整MH370搜寻海域

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was "travelling faster than previously estimated" and authorities have redirected their search efforts based on this new information.

失联的马航MH370航班“飞得比之前估计的速度快”，澳大利亚当局已根据这一新信息校正了搜寻方向。

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said new radar data from the international investigation team is its "most credible lead" to finding debris from the aircraft.

澳大利亚海事安全局(The Australian Maritime Safety Authority)表示，来自一个国际空难调查团队的新雷达数据是该机构目前寻找飞机残骸的“最可靠线索”。

The new data suggests the aircraft was "travelling faster than previously estimated, resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance the aircraft travelled south into the Indian Ocean," AMSA said.

该机构表示，新的数据表明MH370航班“飞得比之前估计的速度快，这导致燃油的消耗量增加，从而减少了飞机向南飞向印度洋的可能距离”。

Satellites are being re-tasked to image the new area - 1,100km to the north east.

目前，多颗卫星正在调整之中，以得到新搜索海域的画面。该搜索海域在原海域北偏东1100公里处，位于澳大利亚城市珀斯以西，距离珀斯1850公里，面积大约为31.9万平方公里。

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said the potential flight path may be the subject of further refinement.

澳大利亚交通安全局(Australian Transport Safety Bureau)表示，飞机可能的航线也许要经过进一步微调。

AMSA said there are now six vessels relocating to the new search area including HMAS Success and five Chinese ships.

澳大利亚海事安全局表示，包括HMAS Success和五艘中国舰艇在内的六艘舰艇正赶往新的搜索区域。

"Weather conditions have improved in the area and ten aircraft are tasked for today's search," AMSA said.

该机构表示：“该区域的天气状况有所改善，今天安排了10架飞机开展搜寻工作。”
