The easiest way to look at the contents of a netCDF file in ASCII is to
use the 'ncdump' utility that is part of the netCDF distribution.  The
netCDF manual has a section on ncdump:

      NetCDF Utilities

      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/ncdump.html#ncdump

Also, several packages that work with data in netCDF support listing
of the data.  Please review the various packages listed in:

No worries.


Cheers,
