Hi Saji,

The netCDF 3.5 source distribution compiles and the resulting ncdump
and ncgen utilities run under Windows NT, if you follow the
installation instructions for that system.  We also have a binary
distribution of netCDF available for Windows systems.

The netCDF Java interface compiles and runs on Windows NT.  Several
tools/packages that can read netCDF data are written in Java, so they
work fine on Windows NT systems also, for example ncBrowse:

and VisAD:

and WebWinds:

There are also some commercial visualization and analysis packages
that can read netCDF data and for which Windows NT versions are
available: IDL, MATLAB, Noesys, and SlicerDicer.  URLs for these
packages can be found in the "Software for Manipulating or Displaying
NetCDF Data" page at:
