Sure, you can open the file, use nf_inq to learn how many dims there are, then 
use nf_inq_dim to learn about each dimension. To find the associated coordinate 
var (which will contain the values along the dimension axis) then look for a 
variable with the same name as the dimension.

For example, if you have a "latitude" dimension, look for a variable called 
"latitude" which, if it exists, will contain the latitudes.

Or, you could use ncdump to dump the file in ASCII and look at the answers.

Thanks,

Ed
