Are we sure that there's sufficient usage of compressed netCDF-4, by
both scientists/analysts and by clients (pick your favorite software)
that we (modeling groups) must use compressed netCDF-4 for our CMIP5
data submission?
With CMIP3, we were told to keep file sizes under 2 GB to allow for
folks who had only 32-bit netCDF available. Is it a good idea to
mandate compressed netCDF-4 this time around?
