This article is from the Scientific Data Format Information FAQ, by Ilana Stern ilana@kiowa.scd.ucar.edu with numerous contributions by others.
Many visualization software packages exist which are intended to be
used with data in one or more of these standard formats. Here are
pointers to some lists of information about this software. (Note that
this is somewhat outside the scope of this document, which is really

useful to many.)

netCDF is at <URL:http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/utilities.html>.
A page of links to many scientific visualization and graphics software
packages is at <URL:http://www.msi.umn.edu/SciVis/Packages/packages.html>.
A page of links to both graphics software and various scientific data
format descriptions is at <URL:http://sslab.colorado.edu:2222/sw_list.html>.
An article comparing several scientific visualization techniques and
packages is available at <URL:http://www.sara.nl/Consumer.Report/Report.html>.
