The netCDF home page, from which you can get information about netCDF,
is at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

If you just want to install the binary library, get a pre-compiled
version for windows from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.4.win32bin.zip

If you want to compile netCDF from sources for Windows, you will have
to get the source distribution, available from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.4.zip

as well as the "nmake" makefiles for Visual C++, available from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.4.makvc5.zip

You might also want to get the README and WIN32_INSTALL files from
that directory, for instructions and notes on installing the
software.
