REPORT DATE: 05-18-2021 REPORT TIME: 0345 UTC REGION: ATLANTIC SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S. AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic 7004 IMAGE DATE: 05-17-2021 IMAGE TIME: 2234 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV RESOLUTION: 20 meter LOCATION: 40°06'02" N/69°55'03" W AREA: 0.81 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly appeared to originate at the site of Wreck 1487, a known repeat leak source, and initially extending southeastward before looping to the north and west and ending just to the north of the point source. The anomaly measured approximately 2.3 nmi in length along that arc, and was up to 0.3 nmi in width. Winds at the time of the image were approximately 5-10 kts from the WSW. UNCERTAINTIES: Due to the repeat leak nature of the suspected source, there are no uncertainties.
