| Szip is an implementation of the extended-Rice lossless | |
| compression algorithm. | |
| The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has | |
| adopted the extended-Rice algorithm for international | |
| standards for space applications[1,6,7]. Szip is reported to | |
| provide fast and effective compression, specifically for the | |
| EOS data generated by the NASA Earth Observatory System | |
| (EOS)[1]. It was originally developed at University of New | |
| Mexico (UNM) and integrated with HDF4 by UNM researchers and | |
| developers. | |
