REGION: GULF OF MEXICO
SUB REGION: N/A
AREA/BLOCK: PULLEY RIDGE   949
IMAGE DATE: 04-14-2019
IMAGE TIME: 2335 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A 
MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV
RESOLUTION: 5x20 meter
LOCATION: 25°01'22" N/82°45'22" W
AREA: 0.59 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REMARKS: ***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IMAGE IS MORE THAN 24 HOURS OLD*** Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. It was believed that the anomaly was emanating from the known shipwreck Cudahy. The anomaly was approximately 1.84 nm (the anomaly as a whole) oriented SW-NNE and 0.17 nm in width. 



UNCERTAINTIES: The full extent of the anomaly was unknown. The anomaly was not directly connected to the source point. Winds near the time of the image were coming from the SE between 5-10 kts which agreed with the orientation of the northern portion of this anomaly.

ANALYST: RODRIGUEZ
