Exposing latest netcdf 4.9.x library functionality: quantize, zstandard

Open durack1 opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

The latest versions of libnetcdf include new functions to further squash data using lossy compression, see Charlie Zender: Why & How to Increase Dataset Compression in CMIP7 - in particular the quantize and zstandard operations.

How easy is it to expose this in CMOR 3.9?

There is ongoing discussion on how Charlie Z's approach might get standardized under CF. See https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/403. Not sure if the above is advocating that or not.
