Hi Fred-
"Freud" is a really nice plotting utility that creates plots nearly as
polished as NCAR graphics. It has a nice GUI and can handle more types of
netCDF files than GrADS, which is inherently limited to data sets with
only one grid (ie, no B-grids, C-grids, etc.). Freud hasn't evolved any
since its funding was cut off a while back (a real shame), but it's still
one of the best tools around (IMHO :-). See:
http://tao.atmos.washington.edu/freud/
We have a bunch of other info on dealing with netCDF in our "Scientific
Visualization Guide":

It needs some updating (even more than usual), but you might find some
useful stuff there.
Happy browsing-
