There is a freely-available Windows program named Wsearch that may be
relevant, since it can read MS data in several formats, including
netCDF.  See

  http://users.intermediatn.net/slittle/hplib3.html
or
  http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~rcmfa/search.htm

for more information about it.

For commercial software, see Advanced Chemistry Development's MS
Processor and Manager software.  There's a blurb about it here:

More information may be available from the sci.techniques.mass-spec
Usenet newsgroup, which I searched using "netcdf spectroscopy"
keywords from
