How to compress the L2 output in SeaDAS

Dear all,

I generated some L2 products of Landsat 8 OLI with SeaDAS 7.5.1, the working flow is ok, just one thing needs to be solved. One L2 output is ~800M for Landsat 8 OLI, it is so large. If I have lots of data to be processed in the near future, they will need large spaces of the disk. Therefore, I would like to inquire whether there is a method to compress them in the process of l2gen. I know that I can read and re-write the file with int32 type with HDF5 format, but this may change the structure of L2 product, to cause the failure in the next process in seadas.

Could someone give me suggestions?

Best Regards,
Zhigang

The L2 products are already compressed. NetCDF-4 added compression support and SeaDAS uses it. https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/entry/netcdf_compression

Thanks Brendan. I have enlarged my disks to storage them.
