https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasDeviationDescription
Five deliberate deviations, each recorded rather than hidden:
1. Atmospheric-correction processor. The paper selected C2RCC for its turbidity
result (the "cN783" chain, C2RCC + Nechad 2009). C2RCC exists only inside ESA
SNAP and crashes natively in the container, so it is excluded; this replication
runs Acolite instead, making the chain "aN783" (Acolite + Nechad 2009), an
open-source analogue. Note the original study itself reports Acolite as its
worst-performing atmospheric-correction processor, so a strong turbidity result
obtained through Acolite here would be a notable outcome rather than an expected
one.
2. Site. Validation is in the Westerschelde estuary, not the Sado, because the Sado
in situ match-up data are available only on request (paper Data Availability
Statement) and no open, contemporaneous, in-estuary substitute exists. The
Westerschelde is a comparable mesotidal, well-mixed, turbid estuary.
3. Period. The record spans January 2016 to July 2026 (the full Sentinel-2 era),
not the original's March 2018 to March 2020 field campaign, to gain a more
complete set of match-ups.
4. In situ reference. Coincident turbidity comes from Rijkswaterstaat routine
monitoring stations, not the original AQUASado sampling campaign.
5. Fully open-source chain. Every step (Sentinel-2 L1C, Acolite, the native Nechad
2009 turbidity product) is open and reproducible, whereas the original's
selected chain depends on the proprietary SNAP/C2RCC processor.

https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasMethodologyDescription
The satellite half of the paper's turbidity pipeline is reproduced with a fully
open-source chain (the "aN783" chain) and validated against an independent in situ
reference. Sentinel-2 A/B/C Level-1C granules over the Westerschelde estuary are
atmospherically corrected with Acolite to water-leaving reflectance, clipped to an
estuary bounding box covering the along-axis stations. Turbidity is taken from
Acolite's own native Nechad et al. (2009) turbidity product, the open-source
analogue of the paper's selected turbidity chain; the product is computed by
Acolite with its published relative-spectral-response-convolved Nechad
coefficients rather than a hand-transcribed algorithm, and the near-infrared band
nearest a 783 nm target is selected, matched by nearest wavelength to absorb the
Sentinel-2 A/B/C band-centre drift. At each in situ station a 3x3 pixel window is
cut on the native 10 m UTM grid, with per-pixel quality control (water only, no
cloud/shadow/glint, atmospheric-correction success), and the valid, finite pixels
are averaged. Satellite retrievals are paired with coincident in situ turbidity
from Rijkswaterstaat monitoring stations on station and time within a
plus-or-minus two-hour window. Agreement is scored with the paper's metric suite
(coefficient of determination, slope, intercept, RMSE, bias, unbiased RMS,
absolute and relative percentage difference); unlike the chlorophyll-a limb, the
regression-family metrics for turbidity are computed on untransformed values in
linear space, not in log10 space, since turbidity does not span the orders of
magnitude that motivate the log transform for chlorophyll-a. Statistics are
reported both over the full Sentinel-2 record and over the original study's
field-campaign window, to separate the effect of changing the period from the
effect of changing the site.

https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasScopeDescription
This study tests only the turbidity limb of the original claim: the assertion
that Sentinel-2 MSI retrieval of turbidity is the strong side of a parameter-
dependent accuracy — that turbidity is highly consistent with in situ observations,
demonstrating the sensor's capability to monitor this water quality parameter. In
scope is whether an independent, satellite-derived turbidity product agrees with
coincident in situ turbidity measurements in a mesotidal, well-mixed, turbid
estuary, and whether the original study's strong-turbidity finding still holds when
the retrieval chain is fully open source and transferred to a different estuary and
a longer period. Out of scope, and left to separate atomic chains, are the
chlorophyll-a, suspended-particulate-matter and coloured-dissolved-organic-matter
limbs of the paper's asymmetry, the seasonal time-series analysis, and any
grid-sensitivity (HEALPix / DGGS) representation of the corrected fields.
