The Weather and Climate Toolkit (WCT) is free, platform independent software distributed from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).  The WCT allows the visualization and data export of weather and climate data, including Radar, Satellite and Model data. 

The WCT provides tools for custom data overlays, Web Map Service (WMS) background maps, animations and basic filtering. The export of images and movies is provided in multiple formats.  The WCT Data Export Wizard allows for data export in both vector polygon/point (Shapefile, Well-Known Text) and raster (GeoTIFF, ESRI Grid, Gridded NetCDF) formats.  These data export features promote the interoperability of weather and climate information with various scientific communities and common software packages such as ArcGIS, Google Earth, MatLAB, etc… 

Advanced data export support for Google Earth enables the 2-D and 3-D export of rendered data, isosurfaces and cross-sections.  An embedded, integrated Google Earth plugin instance allows the seamless visualization of data on a native 3-D Google Earth instance linked to the standard 2-D map.
