Hi Ratna,

One tool for extracting data from netCDF files is the ncks program that
is part of the NCO (netCDF Operators) software:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/

Another software package with this capability is CDO (Climate Data Operators),
which has a set orf selection operators, including selname for selecting
variables by name:

  http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/fileadmin/software/cdo/

Also there is a prototype netCDF subset service, which would require a server
for
the data:

Other alternatives include use of scripting languages, such as Python, Perl, or
Ruby, to
select variables using scripts and the appropriate netCDF interfaces.
