I don't know of a NetCDF reader, but one alternative to consider might be to convert it to another format that is understood by stata.
There is a JSON reader (user-written insheetjson command, available by the stata command "net install insheetjson")
and there seems to be a NetCDF-to-JSON converter available at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html#JSON
Just an alternative to consider...
