Most likely this is in GRIB format. I have a command line
utility for converting GRIB files to netcdf:

    http://dao.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/grads/lats4d/

Lats4d is written as a GrADS script. GrADS is freely available
from:

    http://grads.iges.org/grads/

In order to make the GRIB file GrADS redable you need the 
perl script

    http://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov/grib2ctl.html

which creates a simple ASCII control file to assist grads
reading the GRIB file.

  Good Luck,

        Arlindo.
