Prob best thing to do is get it into netCDF then the options are many
depending on yr platform enviroment-
Hints here-
http://geon.unavco.org/unavco/IDV_fo...onverters.html
then you can visualise the netCDF with IDV, -

will generate maps.
Other netCDF tools-

I think Ferret may do this as well-

post to the netCDF forums for help-
