Other Issues From Review

[x] Version: Does the release version given match the GitHub release (v1.0)?
[x] Documentation - A statement of need: Do the authors clearly state what problems the software is designed to solve and who the target audience is? Add audience to statement of need (https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html#a-statement-of-need)
[x] Paper - A statement of need: Do the authors clearly state what problems the software is designed to solve and who the target audience is? Add audience to statement of need (https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html#a-statement-of-need)
[x] I think it would be better to intro something like ‘user defined polygon identifying a region of interest (ROI)’ and use ROI for the remainder of the paper.
[x] Figures: please provide descriptive captions to the three figures.
[x] I feel like the paper title could be smooth like this: 'Comet Time Series Visualizer: CometTS'
[x] that we call -> called
[x] (CometTS) -> ([CometTS])
[x] a times series of satellite imagery -> time series satellite imagery.
[x] -> The tool aims to enable research into population estimation, land use detection, or natural disaster monitoring using a variety of data types.
[x] series of satellite imagery -> series of satellite images
[x] variation), -> variation)
[x] visualizes -> provides a visualization of
[x] from user drawn polygons. -> from a user defined region of interest.
[x] define GIS as geographic information systems
[x] can only be used to analyze individual -> are limited to analysis of individual
[x] CometTS then produces -> CometTS produces
[x] within the polygon -> region of interest
[x] of most relevance -> most relevant
[x] standard statistics -> standard statistical measures / standard test statistics
[x] Many of the details in the final paragraph could be summarized in a shorter sentence like “CometTS output includes user-specified statistics such as mean, median, and quartiles, and the package offers masking functionality to remove clouds and snow from the area of interest.” Then the remaining space could outline key research use cases in more detail.
[x] Expand introduction, including appropriate citations to related work
[x] Edit manuscript to remove workflow details in favor of suggested research use cases
[x] Remove ® symbol from “Python ®”
[x] Version: The Zenodo archive and paper should correspond to a tagged release on Github (#6)
[x] Acknowledge in the documentation whether CometTS is a. a workflow for processing/visualizing raster time series, or b. tools for workflows; i.e. it's unclear how many of the functions are reliant on outputs from other pieces.
[x] Acknowledge the key features that distinguish CometTS from other processing/visualization tools for raster time series, e.g. TIMESAT.
[x] Test and indicate in the README which imagery sources and formats are compatible with CometTS.
