SUB REGION: N/A
AREA/BLOCK: PULLEY RIDGE   949
IMAGE DATE: 12-10-2019
IMAGE TIME: 2335 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A 
MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV
RESOLUTION: 20 meter
LOCATION: 25°01'22" N/82°45'22" W
AREA: 0.49 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly is believed to be an oil slick that originated from the Cudahy shipwreck since the anomaly's origin was almost directly connected to that site. The thin, linear slick stretched for approximately 3.6 nautical miles NW from the wreck site, in accordance with winds from the SE at 10 kts at the time of the image. 

UNCERTAINTIES: A more precise areal measurement of the slick was not possible due to the slick's diffuse appearance.  

ANALYST: VELASCO
