Howdy Ying!

If I understand you correctly, you want to use some tools to manipulate netCDF 
files, without having to write the Fortran programs. Is that correct?

I don't really know the answer to that, but there are some third party netCDF 
tools (also free), which may help. You could try the NCO operators, or FAN, or 
something like NCL. For the meanings of all these, see the netCDF tools page:
