REGION: ATLANTIC
SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S.
AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic  6627
IMAGE DATE: 05-20-2019
IMAGE TIME: 1543 UTC
DATA SOURCE: WORLDVIEW2 
MODE: Multispectral  
RESOLUTION: 1.8 meter
LOCATION: 40°24'03" N/72°22'13" W
AREA: 0.01 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
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. The anomaly was observed emanating from toward the NE from Destroyed Coimbra Tanker and appears bright and has a resemblance of oil in multispectral imagery. Winds during the time of this anomaly also align well with the orientation of this anomaly. Overall the anomaly measures approximately 0.35NMI long and .02NMI wide and covers a total of .02 square KM. General uncertainties are low given the history of Coimbra as a repeat leak source. 

UNCERTAINTIES:
Uncertainties are low given the history of Coimbra as a repeat leak source.
