REPORT DATE: 09-19-2022 REPORT TIME: 2340 UTC REGION: PACIFIC SUB REGION: CALIFORNIA AREA/BLOCK: Southern California 6251 IMAGE DATE: 09-19-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1829 UTC DATA SOURCE: LANDSAT9 MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 30 meter LOCATION: 32°43'50" N/117°59'15" W AREA: 6.66 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. The slick was linear in shape, had a dark strong contrast against the surrounding environment, and had sharp well-defined edges. The slick had portions of brighter returns, which are indications of thicker oil. The slick was approximately 5.09nm in length, and 1.01nm at the widest point. Feathering was present throughout the slick extents, winds were out of the west at 8kts near the time of the image, which agrees with the feathering of the slick. The slick was approximately 87km west of San Diego, California. UNCERTAINTIES: No report of an oil slick, numerous false positives, and no associated point source limit our confidence for this report to Medium-High.
