Can you tell me why you prefer szip to zlib deflation? >From C, use nc_def_var_szip to set up szip compression on a var (after it is defined, but before any enddef is called.) There is also an nc_inq_var_szip function, for completeness, but it is not necessary to know that a variable is zipped when reading it, as the unpacking is automatic. See the C docs for more: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-c.html#nc_005fdef_005fvar_005fszip In F90, there are two new parameters to the nf90_def_var and nf90_inquire functions, "option_mask" and "bits_per_pixel", which allow you to turn on szip and control its operation. Documentation here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-f90.html#NF90_005fDEF_005fVAR Please let me know how it works for you!
