Satellite Source: Sentinel 1A Mode: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV Resolution: 5x20 meter Image Date & Time: 07-02-2018 0018 UTC Confidence: Medium-High Issue Date: 07-02-2018 Region: Gulf of Mexico Location: 28°54'08" N, 94°00'14" W Coverage Area: 16.34 km^2 Remarks: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The 23.4 nm long anomaly trails and is connected to what is believed to be a ship moving SE. The anomaly had a strong contrast to the surroundings and had a wider patch at its distal end that was particularly anomalous; it did not appear to be ship wake. Winds were 10-15 kt from the SE in the vicinity of the anomaly at the time of the image. Uncertainties: Since the anomaly does not widen with distance as typically seen in bilge dumping cases, we give a Medium-High instead of High confidence that it is related to oil.
