		The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has adopted
		the extended-Rice algorithm for international standards for space
		applications. Szip is reported to provide fast and effective
		compression, specifically for the EOS data generated by the NASA
		Earth Observatory System (EOS). It was originally developed at
		University of New Mexico (UNM) and integrated with HDF4 by UNM
		researchers and developers. It can be used for HDF 5 as well.
