It's actually "netCDF", not "NetCFR".

Yes, lots of information is available on the netCDF web page at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

We develop and maintain netCDF, but the use of netCDF in analytical
chemistry is an independent effort.  More information about the
Analytical Data Interchange protocols is available in the article
"STANDARDS FOR CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA SYSTEMS: ASTM adopts protocols for
analytical data interchange (Andi)" at

  http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/tcaw/98/may/stan.html

The resulting standard specification and guide may be
downloaded from ASTM <http://www.astm.org/>:

 E1947-98 Standard Specification for Analytical Data Interchange
 Protocol for Chromatographic Data
   
<http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/DATABASE.CART/PAGES/E1947.htm?L+mystore+rpwd2606>

 E1948-98 Standard Guide for Analytical Data Interchange Protocol for
 Chromatographic Data
   
<http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/DATABASE.CART/PAGES/E1948.htm?L+mystore+rpwd2606>

You can also type in the keywords "analytical" or "spectroscopy" in
the netCDF support email archive search box near the bottom of the
netCDF web page for some more information about this application of
netCDF.

I'm difficult to reach by telephone, but will respond to email fairly
quickly ...
