REGION: ATLANTIC
SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S.
AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic  6627
IMAGE DATE: 05-08-2019
IMAGE TIME: 1624 UTC
DATA SOURCE: WORLDVIEW2 
MODE: Multispectral  
RESOLUTION: 1.8 meter
LOCATION: 40°24'04" N/72°22'10" W
AREA: 0.01 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. It was associated with the Coimbra Tanker Shipwreck, and exhibited two thin streamers of possible oil, likely because of interference with the vessel at the site. Both slicks measured approximately 0.25 NMI long by 0.01 NMI wide. They showed moderate contrast against the ocean background and were removed from natural phenomena. Winds at the time of the image were from the Northeast.



UNCERTAINTIES: No uncertainties as this is a repeat leak source
