Hi Ritsu,
> Exist some kind of tool to convert radar data (polar) to NetCDF file
> format?
There is a C++ program, RadxConvert, that provides conversion among
various standard Radar data formats, including CFRadial, a netCDF
format:
http://www.ral.ucar.edu/projects/titan/docs/radial_formats/radx.html
There is Java software, netcdf-java supporting the Common Data Model
(CDM), that provides a netCDF-like interface to various standard Radar
data formats:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/formats/FileTypes.html
Those are the only two freely available packages that I know about.

> The radar data format is composed by Header + Data(Sweep Header +
> Sector Data)
>
> Header[256] char
>
> Contain radar site information, observation time, etc.
>
> Data is constituted by
>
> SweepHeader[32] char + Data[320] char
>
> Have 360 sectors(azimuth) of above data.
>
> The contents of the data is Z(reflectivity) in dBZ.
>
> The total size is
> 256 + (32 + 320) * 360 = 126,976 bytes
