In Huybrighs et al., 2020 we investigated energetic proton depletions alongGalileo's Europa flyby E26. Based on a particle tracing analysis we proposedthat depletions are caused by perturbed electrogmagnetic fields combined withatmospheric charge exchange and possible plumes. One depletion featureidentified as a plume signature was shown to be an artefact Jia et al., 2021.Despite that, here we emphasize that Huybrighs et al., 2020 demonstrates thatplumes can cause proton depletions and that these features should be soughtafter. Furthermore, the conclusions on the importance of perturbedelectromagnetic fields and atmospheric charge exchange on the depletions areunaffected. We suggest that the artefact's cause is a mistagging of protons asheavier ions by EPD. The artefact prevents us from confirming or excluding thatthere is a plume associated depletion. We also address comments on the MHDsimulations and demonstrate that 540-1040 keV losses are not necessarilyinconsistent with 115-244 keV losses by plume associated charge exchange.
