Suggestions for revision or reasons for rejection

The manuscript clearly improved after the authors had taken into account the overwhelming number of comments and corrections made by reviewers. The paper now also has a reasonable length, especially considering the authors' remark in the introduction that the individual sections are written independently of each other, so that the interested reader has to read only individual sections and not the whole paper.
The article provides readers with valuable background information, hints and examples for the use of the ICGEM services and is in the reviewers´ opinion ready for publication after the correction of the following minor misprints or omissions.

Short summary

ICGEM is a non-profit scientific service that contributes to any research area in which the use of gravity information is essential. ICGEM offers the largest collection of global gravity field models, interactive calculation and visualisation services and delivers high-quality datasets to researchers and students in geodesy, geophysics, glaciology, hydrology, oceanography, and climatology and most importantly general public. Static, temporal, and topographic gravity field models are available.
