Their model is the most accurate so far because it uses the location of the jet parts that have already been found, as well as data about currents and winds in the Indian Ocean area over the past couple of years. Using this combination of data makes the model more reliable.

He put a special focus on amino acid geochronology (AAG), which he is carrying out under the supervision of Prof. E.A. Oches at the University of South Florida AAG laboratory. Björn has pointed out that previous discussed circulation models for Eurasia were too simplified and showed that the past aeolian dust record of Eurasia reflects a long-term signal of seasonality, triggered by changes in duration and permanency of the Asiatic polar front.
