Biologic Targets
(likely fish schools)

The truncation of these targets at the swath margins between adjacent ship tracks means that the targets changed location between the times of data collection from one swath to the next (about 15 minutes apart). Because the targets shifted locations over a relatively short time, they must be biologic and not geologic in nature. (1-m resolution)
