Hi,

Here's a question from a user of Ferret software, which is built withnetcdf4 libraries. When opening and reading data from a THREDDS server,where the data is in netcdf-4 format, using compression, where does thedecompression takes place:

- at the THREDDS server and the uncompressed data are delivered over theweb,- at the local machine, the compressed data are delivered over the weband are uncompressed at the local machine?
