Hi Noemi,

The ncdump utility program, which is part of the netCDF software, converts a
binary netCDF file into an ASCII representation.  Another utility program,
ncdump, does converions in the other direction, from the ASCII representation
back to a binary netCDF file.  Documentation for ncdump and ncgen are available
online here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/ncdump-man-1.html
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/ncgen-man-1.html

as well as in the netCDF Users Guide:

I hope this helps.
