[Wrf-users] Modifying WRF I/O code to do Lossy compression

[Nikhil Garg]

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.

I know that it is not really an answer to your question but it does
save you effort needed for compression using nccopy.
