REPORT DATE: 07-10-2025 REPORT TIME: 1115 UTC REGION: GULF OF AMERICA SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: MISSISSIPPI CANYON 773 IMAGE DATE: 07-09-2025 IMAGE TIME: 2353 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV RESOLUTION: 5X20 meter LOCATION: 28°11'44" N/88°43'32" W AREA: 0.69 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REPORT MAP/GIS FILES: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/ocean/marinepollution/ REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. Strong contrast and sharp edges against the ocean background was observed in this SAR imagery. The leaking source was believed to be a registered oil facility. The surface wind at the imagery time was about 8 knots from NE. Therefore the confidence was high. The size of the oil anomaly shown in this SAR imagery was about 1.45 nmi long and 0.21 nmi at its widest. UNCERTAINTIES: The entire size was not able to be identified because the oil slick dispersed beyond the imagery boundary.
