Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[netcdfgroup] If a compressed dataset is on a THREDDS server, where is the uncompression done?

Hi,
Here's a question from a user of Ferret software, which is built with netcdf4 libraries. When opening and reading data from a THREDDS server, where the data is in netcdf-4 format, using compression, where does the decompression takes place:

- at the THREDDS server and the uncompressed data are delivered over the web, - at the local machine, the compressed data are delivered over the web and are uncompressed at the local machine?
