There are several different ways that you can do this. The first time user guide for netCDF will tell you how to install on your computer the free Java-based software to read and do simple plots with netCDF files (ncBrowse). That software will also allow you to export data to ASCII files should you wish to do so. The Primer will also tell you how to read netCDF files in commercial scientific software or programming languages that you may already be familiar with. Alternatively you could make use of the eWOCE facility on Disk 2. The electronic atlas of WOCE data comes with free software that you can either run from the DVDs or install on your personal computer, called Ocean Data View (ODV). The ODV software will allow you to select data files based on a variety of criteria (location, time etc) and plot them as vertical sections, or profiles, or property-property plots etc.
