Variable v = ncFile.findVariable("Latitude");
Array a = v.read();             // does the actual I/O
Index ima = a.getIndex();
double lat = a.getDouble(ima.set0(0));

// looping
IndexIterator ii= a.getIndexIterator();
while (ii.hasNext())
  lat = ii.getDoubleNext();

if you know the type and rank, a convenient variant is:

Variable v = ncFile.findVariable("Latitude");
ArrayDouble.D1 a = (ArrayDouble.D1) v.read();
double lat = a.get(0);

// looping
for (int i=0; i<a.size(); i++)
  lat = a.get(i);

I keep a copy of the users manual around as it has a convenient API summary im 
always refering to:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-java/manual.pdf

BTW, im working on a version 2.1 of nc2 that will have some important 
improvements to dods access.
