[netcdfgroup] presentation on new compression features of netCDF

Howdy all!

Here's a presentation I gave at the Unifying Innovations in Forecasting
Capabilities Workshop at NCAR this month:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372744136_Better_Compression_for_UFS_with_Support_from_the_NetCDF_Community

Abstract:
Three new compression features are now available in netCDF.

   - Parallel I/O + compression.
   - Zstandard - new lossless compression.
   - Quantize - enables lossy compression.


Using the new features will result in faster I/O, and smaller data files.

Keep on netCDFing!
