Howdy all! In the next release of netcdf-c users will have access to the new quantize feature. This allows users to specify a required number of significant digits for a NC_FLOAT or NC_DOUBLE variable. Excess bits in each floating point value are set to zero, and this makes compression work much better. Today I gave a presentation of these new features (co-authored by Charlie Zender), and we have an extended abstract that describes the features in some detail.
