Hi,

By reading the above, I was tempted to believe that this was
some kind of weather research tool. If this package reaches
Debian, please make sure to come with a better long description.

Also, I don't think it is relevant to write: "It is written in C++ and
released under the BSD license." First, our user know it's free
software (everything in Debian is free), and the fact that it is
in C++ might not be important for the final user.

Hoping this helps improving the long desc,

Cheers,

Thomas
