This error means that the class loader couldn't find Class
ucar/netcdf/NetcdfFile.

Reset your CLASSPATH to include the root of the netcdf classes.
For example, if the directory 'ucar' is in /home/olivares/java/classes,
%setenv CLASSPATH /home/olivares/java/classes:${CLASSPATH}

BTW, you don't need to construct the String being assigned to fname,
it exists already. You can simply say
        fname ="sgpmfrsrC1.a1.970913.000000.cdf";
