Where do you get the data? From a website, your own model run? Is the raw data 
format in netCDF, grib?

Keeping things 100% java should not be a problem. It may help to read through 
some example programs 
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/programs/) using 
netCDF-Java to read files and access data, especially the following example 
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/programs/Sfc_pres_temp_rd.java).
 If you are able to open your files and read data from the variables, it should 
be relatively straightforward to dump the data you need to a format of your 
choice.

Cheers,

Sean
