There is a lot of useful information about netCDF files on our website: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Software http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software netCDF http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ netCDF FAQ http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/#netcdf_faq One link in the last page that may be particularly helpful is: NetCDF and Other Software What other software is available for accessing, displaying, and manipulating netCDF data? Software for Manipulating or Displaying NetCDF Data http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html I hope that this helps...
