IMAGE DATE: 07-13-2018
IMAGE TIME: 2242 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A 
MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV
RESOLUTION: 5x20 meter
LOCATION: 40°24'03" N/72°22'13" W
AREA: 0.26 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. Possible oil was observed emanating north-northeast from the Coimbra Tanker shipwreck. The slick measured approximately 1.4 nmi long by 0.10 nmi wide. It exhibited moderate contrast against the ocean background and the edges were somewhat diffuse, both likely attributed to relatively strong wind. 


UNCERTAINTIES: No uncertainities as this is a repeat leak source.
