The study of quantitative characteristics of physical and optical properties of the sea using satellite remote sensing is among the priority areas in the field of oceanological research. Special attention is paid to analyzing the influence of data obtained by different satellite systems on the accuracy and reliability of quantitative characteristics. In the framework of our study, we compared the results of water turbidity determination based on synchronously acquired data from OLI/OLI-2 instruments installed on Landsat 8/9 and MSI of Sentinel 2A/2B satellites. The Dogliotti 2015 and Nechad 2016 algorithms included in the ACOLITE software package were used to determine turbidity values. The estuarine areas of the rivers Mzymta and Rioni flowing into the Black Sea and Terek and Sulak flowing into the Caspian Sea were selected as test areas. The sampling of days with synchronous overflights of Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel 2A/2B satellites in different periods allowed us to cover a wide range of water turbidity values and evaluate how the choice of satellite data affects the final processing results. Analysis of scatter diagrams of water turbidity values obtained by the same algorithms but using data from different satellites showed that there is a linear dependence with coefficients of determination higher than 0.95. The observed high correlation between the results for the two satellites demonstrates that for these areas the choice of either satellite does not give significant differences in the final results. It should be noted that on average, if turbidity values do not exceed 100 NTU, the results obtained from Landsat 8/9 OLI/OLI-2 are slightly higher than Sentinel 2A/2B MSI. For turbidity values greater than 100 NTU, the opposite pattern is observed: higher values obtained using data from MSI compared to the results from OLI/OLI-2. This finding should be taken into account in future studies when using data from different sensors.
