You could use Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) to view the data
in polar form with geographic overlays.  There is a section in the
IDV Training workshop on how to do this:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/workshop/datadisplays/level2/index.html

At this point, we don't export to netCDF because there is no standard
for doing so.

I'm not sure about the capabilities of SOLO in that area.  Another program is 
NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/wct/install.php

which does support export to a netCDF format.
