Reading netCDF data using geoprocessing tools

Caution:

You cannot add a netCDF file using the Add Data Add Data button in ArcGIS applications (ArcMap, ArcScene, or ArcGlobe).

You can use the Make NetCDF Raster Layer, Make NetCDF Feature Layer, and Make NetCDF Table View tools from the Multidimension Tools toolbox to create a raster layer, feature layer, and table view, respectively, from a netCDF file.
