Howdy all! New compression features have been added to the netCDF C and Fortran libraries, including lossy compression, zstandard, and parallel I/O support. These features will help science data producers such as NOAA, NCAR, NASA, and ESA process, store and distribute the large scientific datasets produced by higher-resolution models and instruments. Here's a presentation I gave at NOAA about the new compression features of netCDF: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365006139_NetCDF_Compression_Improvements Keep on netCDFing! Ed Hartnett
