REPORT DATE: 08-08-2022 REPORT TIME: 0145 UTC REGION: ATLANTIC SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S. AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic 7004 IMAGE DATE: 08-07-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1535 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2B MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 10 meter LOCATION: 40°06'02" N/69°55'03" W AREA: 0.31 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. The oil slick was observed emanating from the repeat leak source, Wreck 1487. The area of oil was roughly 1nm in length and up to 0.25nm at its widest point. The slick appeared adjacent to the site of the wreck with a small pocket of bright, white reflectance which may have indicated an area of relatively thicker oil. The surrounding area exhibited a duller, but still shimmery appearance in contrast with the ocean background. Winds at the time were SW at 15kts. Since this spill originated from a repeat leak source, confidence was High. UNCERTAINTIES: None.
