DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A 
MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV
RESOLUTION: 5x20 meter

REMARKS: ***This satellite image is more than 24 hours old.*** Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was approximately 40.19 nm (segments combined) oriented SE-NW and approximately 0.20 nm in width. The anomaly had a moderate to large contrast to its surroundings. It had a combination of diffused and well-defined edges. The SE portion of the anomaly exhibited feathering. Winds were coming from the SE between 5-10 kts., which aligned well with the orientation of the anomaly.



UNCERTAINTIES: There was a possible point source near the NW corner of the anomaly. The anomaly continued past the reported satellite image.
