arXiv:2606.05389v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Lossy compression is essential for massive spatiotemporal data from scientific simulations. Learned compressors can achieve high compression ratios at moderate accuracy targets, but their aggregate reconstruction losses do not guarantee accuracy for each block. Existing Guaranteed Autoencoder (GAE) methods add a per-block residual correction by retaining SVD/PCA-style coefficients until the target is met. This works at moderate tolerances, but in the high-fidelity regime with block-level NRMSE from 10^-6 to 10^-4, the number of retained coefficients grows quickly and the correction stream dominates the total rate. We propose a residual-centric view: the learned residual is structurally different from the original scientific field and should be coded with a representation designed for that residual. We introduce two residual coders. LBRC is a deterministic, training-free pipeline that adaptively quantizes the learned residual to the target NRMSE and losslessly encodes the resulting integer residual using 3D Lorenzo differencing, zigzag mapping, bit-plane coding, and entropy coding. NGLR adds a causal neural predictor that outputs a normalized bias for an integer-rounded Lorenzo prediction in the same deterministic integer pipeline, reducing the entropy of the remaining residual code while preserving deterministic decoding. The predictor weights are serialized and counted in the bitstream. Across E3SM, JHTDB, and ERA5 at block-level NRMSE targets from 10^-6 to 10^-4, LBRC improves compression ratio over GAE by 30-60% and …
