Mark,

>to netCDF format.  any ideas on how to do this?

Yes:

o design a cdl for how you want the netCDF file to look
o use ncgen to generate source code for a C or Fortran routine to
  write the data
o edit the soure code and add in input of your data and tweak the output
  of the netCDF data
o consult the netCDF web pages for further ideas/packages that support
  netCDF:
