Improve netCDF4 compression #125

Open brmather opened 8 months ago

brmather commented 8 months ago

Add option for quantisation by specifying significant digits
Replace default zlib compression for newer zstd compression
Increase compression level to 9

brmather commented 7 months ago

Some of these compression methods are not compatible with all versions of netCDF and some of the data quantisation handled by significant_digits keyword sometimes garbles the netCDF data. More investigation is required.
