<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>I am assuming that you want to save physical space, I was wondering why not try netcdf4 for wrf model. It works with WRF model version 3.5 and above. Although WRF 3.4.1 can be compiled with nc4 option it doesnt seem to work atleast for my case and I use nccopy for compression, but i have tested and it works fine in 3.6 version.</div><div><br></div><div>I know that it is not really an answer to your question but it does </div><div>save you effort needed for compression using nccopy.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 July 2015 at 16:31, Jatin Kala <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jatin.kala.jk@gmail.com" target="_blank">jatin.kala.jk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all,<br>
Just wondering if anyone has any experience in modifying the WRF I/O<br>
source code to do "Lossy" compression for the wrfout_d0* files, i.e.,<br>
something along the lines of storing say temperatures as integer with a<br>
scale factor to convert to float again later when analyzing the outputs.<br>
<br>
I already know about NetCDF's nccopy, just wondering if someone has been<br>
brave enough to try "Lossy" type compression within the WRF source code,<br>
excluding wrfrst_d0* files.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
