@lheagy looks good to me now.

[lheagy]

Thanks @brian-rose, looks good! I will start sending out messages for reviewers. Do you have any suggestions?

[brian-rose]

I don't have any particular reviewer requests. There are a few folks on the reviewer list who list Python and "atmospheric science" or "climate".

[lheagy]

👋 Hi @Chilipp, @andreas-h, with your background in climate and atmospheric science as well as experience with python, your input on this JOSS submission would be much appreciated! Would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

[Chilipp]

Yes @lheagy, it sounds very interesting. :ok_hand:

[lheagy]

Thanks @Chilipp! We will wait to hear from @andreas-h before starting the review

[lheagy]

Just a quick update: I have sent off an email, so hopefully we will hear back shortly. If possible, it is preferable to have 2 reviewers.
