A few ideas:
The remote NetCDF files could be served using the THREDDS data server
(with WMS enabled), allowing graphical viewing in the browser using
the godiva2 WMS client
The remote NetCDF files could be served using ERDDAP, allowing
graphical viewing in the browser using the ERDDAP graphing interface.
You could access and display the remote NetCDF files using Wakari
(Ipython notebook running on the cloud), which runs in the browser.
