Hi @lsmvivek and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level (not at the more detailed review level) before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment over time as I have a chance to go through them:

• OSI-approved license
• Installation instructions
• Documentation exists at all
• Tests of some sort
• Check paper (make sure compiles, read through, check for length 250-1000 words)
• Substantial scholarly effort
• Clear research application

In the meantime, please take a look at the comments above ⬆️ from the editorialbot to address any DOI, license, or paper issues if you're able (there may not be any), or suggest reviewers. For reviewers, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them.

I know this is a resubmission — please note here any important items from previous submission we should know (here is a link to the last one #7183).

@lsmvivek Ok great. Sorry I have been traveling plus had a deadline. Now I am back.
We have a backlog of submissions so I will add this to our waitlist. Thanks for your patience.

[kthyng]

@lsmvivek Did I already suggest giving a more descriptive title to this paper? It seems one already needs to know what this package does in order to know what the title means. I struggle with this whenever I try to search for an editor for the submission.

Dear @kthyng
I have updated the paper title.
It clearly states the objective of the software, data it works with and the expected output.
I have also added more keywords (Geodesy, Gravimetry, Terrestrial Water Storage).

I thank you for suggestion, please let me know if any other changes are needed.
