Topics to Discuss

pysat review responses are in
- Reviewer wants substantiation for any data set claims (in new section)
- Info on adding a data set (section in progress)
- Table of currently supported data sets
- Strong suggestion of listing currently supported formats (in new section)
- Suggestion of statements of ionospheric focus in the introduction (reviewer 2 also notes It would be of interest to many readers if the authors can elaborate about the scope of the pysat ecosystem or limitations if any) (in new section)
- link to kamodo
- Add a warning about .load command and possible memory repercussions (added note)
- 3.1.3 -> 3.2 plus include 3.1.4 (added comment each section is a single example)
- 1129 what is slt? (Added SLT definition in code and manuscript)
- Lines 1158 and 1159 shall be suppressed (suppressed)
- Lines 1165 to 1169 are original guidelines of Frontiers and shall be completed (no acknowledgements I'm aware of)
- Data availability shall point to a GitHub repo instead of a general statement (Added a link)
- It is not clear whether pysat requires metadata in the SPASE format or any other standard, and it will be useful if the paper can provide relevant information should a data provider wants to create metadata that can work with pysat.
- and it is not clear from the paper how pysat helps address this issue(cloud computing costs), if that is the intention of the authors.
NumFOCUS
- Talked with NumFOCUS about potential proposal
Redirected focus
TESS Balloon opportunity:
- Reminder about followup with pysat manuscript once through the system.
OMMBV manuscript
