Sent et al. (2021) found that Sentinel-2 MSI retrieves water-quality parameters with parameter-dependent accuracy — strong for turbidity, weak for chlorophyll-a — and selected a C2RCC + Nechad (cN783) chain that retrieved turbidity in strong agreement with in situ (R² = 0.84). Testing that turbidity limb in an independent, more turbid estuary (the Westerschelde, 2016–2026) with a fully open-source atmospheric-correction chain (Acolite + Nechad et al. 2010, the aN783 chain), we obtained strong agreement with in situ turbidity: R² = 0.92 with a near-unity slope (0.86), meeting and slightly exceeding the paper's proprietary result. This is the strong side of the parameter asymmetry the paper describes, and it replicates even open-source: an operationally reproducible chain that uses no proprietary processor recovers estuarine turbidity at, and slightly beyond, the accuracy of the paper's selected cN783 chain, in a different optical regime. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasConfidenceLevel https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/HighConfidence https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasEvidenceDescription From results/turbidity_satellite_acolite.parquet, agreement computed in linear space (scripts/matchup_stats.py), matching the paper's linear treatment of turbidity (turbidity is reported in FNU on both sides — no unit conversion): N = 11 match-ups R² = 0.92 (ours, aN783) vs R² = 0.84 (original, selected cN783) slope = 0.86 (near unity) RMSE = 10.13 FNU BIAS = +6.91 FNU (slight overestimate) The open-source Acolite + Nechad (aN783) chain therefore meets and slightly exceeds the original study's selected C2RCC + Nechad (cN783) R² of 0.84, with a near-unity regression slope, in a different and more turbid estuary. The small positive bias (+6.91 FNU) indicates a mild systematic overestimate but does not degrade the correlation. Turbidity is the strong side of the parameter asymmetry seen across the three retrieved parameters.

Sample size. N = 11 turbidity match-ups is small — fewer valid pairs than the Chl-a limb (N = 33), and comparable to the original (N = 19–21). The R² = 0.92 therefore carries a wide confidence interval. The direction of the result (strong agreement, meeting/exceeding the original) is robust; its precise magnitude is not. 2. Processor rating. The paper reports Acolite as its worst-performing atmospheric-correction processor, yet here the open-source Acolite + Nechad chain matches and slightly exceeds the paper's selected C2RCC + Nechad result. That is a notable finding, but a single-site one — it should not be read as a general claim that Acolite outperforms C2RCC for turbidity everywhere. 3. Site and period change. This is a Replication, not a Reproduction: the Sado in situ data are not public (paper Data Availability Statement), so we validated in the Westerschelde (2016–2026), a different and more turbid mesotidal estuary. A different optical regime tests generalisability, not the correctness of the original analysis. Agreement was computed in linear space, matching the paper's treatment of turbidity. 4. Systematic bias. The retrieval carries a slight positive bias (+6.91 FNU), a mild overestimate that does not degrade the correlation but should be noted for any quantitative use. A grid-sensitivity check on a HEALPix / DGGS (GRID4EARTH) representation of the corrected fields is deliberately out of scope here and deferred to a separate follow-up chain that will extend this one, so the primary validation stays on the native Sentinel-2 grid. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasOutcomeRepository https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21561994 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasValidationStatus https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/Validated https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/isOutcomeOf https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAnwDtIlAWIqvXpldc4jr_BhZF10mbn1nSMjcBFieDfy4 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/provenance https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/pubinfo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Anne Fouilloux https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2026-07-25T16:48:15.385Z https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://purl.org/nanopub/x/introduces https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/turbidity-strong-limb-open-source-westerschelde https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://purl.org/nanopub/x/wasCreatedAt https://platform.sciencelive4all.org https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Open-source Sentinel-2 turbidity retrieval in the Westerschelde confirms the Sado strong-turbidity finding https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk https://w3id.org/np/o/ntemplate/wasCreatedFromTemplate https://w3id.org/np/RA2zljn0Nw9SadppOyxZoh-_Rxosslrq-vYG-p9SttnJE https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasAlgorithm RSA https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasPublicKey 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 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignature 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 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignatureTarget https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAGe9U1qrzbrHI6bZjkM7d3vuwbAkv5j1K0S5cEC8HYkk/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/signedBy https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920
