Hi!
Currently, CDO is using NETCDF data compression via deflate (option -z zip_2) according to the manual. Today I was attending a talk of Anna Fuchs (DKRZ) who criticised DEFLATE as being slow and outdated. She recommended using compression based on lz4, and mentioned that related filters are already available. Is it planned to introduce netcdf data compression based on lz4 into CDOs?
