Steve,

Now that I see the ncdump output, the row-major CDL declaration

   float ht(record, z, y, x) ;

would correspond to a column-major Fortran declaration with the dimensions
reversed:

   ALLOCATE ( ht ( x , y , z3+1 ) )

and consistent start and count vectors:

   start = (/ 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 /)
   count = (/ x , y , z , 1 /)

We have a worked out example here of the output from ncdump of an example
file, and Fortran 90 programs for writing and reading the 4D variable:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/programs/pres_temp_4D_rd.f90

If it's not clear that the row-major and column-major dimension orders are just
reversed, maybe the example above will help.
