Don,

HDF emphasizes a single common format for data, on which many interfaces can
be built. NetCDF emphasizes a single common interface to data, implemented
on top of an architecture-independent representation.
There are also some significant performance differences between the two
implementations of the netCDF interface, with each significantly faster than
the other for some kinds of operations.
