For archived data, NCDC is king in my book.  Especially when it comes to US
NEXRAD radar data.  They offer both GUI and CLI tools for data
visualization and conversion.  Usually, I Jude it to convert my radar data
into netcdf format.

By the way, there are three major binary data formats to know in the metro
world: grib, netcdf and hdf.

Happy data mining!
