CANBERRA: An Australian research team on Wednesday claimed that they have narrowed the location of missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370 to just a fraction of the ocean search area previously explored by Australian, Malaysian and Chinese authorities, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

David Griffin, head of the team from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), said his team had continued analysing drift modelling data well after the ocean search had concluded, estimating that the plane went down along the "seventh arc."
