+ 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.
