[netCDF #NXD-306525]: netCdf Question.

Hi Bo,

Yes, it is possible to read netCDF data into a Fortran program.  There are both
Fortran-77 and Fortran-90 programming interfaces to access data in netCDF
files, documented in these two reference manuals:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-f77.html
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-f90.html

The NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data used netCDF-3, so you can ignore all the
references to netCDF-4 interfaces and features.

Here are some example programs, including Fortran-77 and Fortran-90 programs,
that access netCDF data from very simple files:

Here is an online workshop that was the basis of a two-day netCDF class:

Here is a tutorial docuent that includes Fortran examples:

To extract an ASCII version of netCDF data, you can use the "ncdump" utility.
See this description of ncdump and its options:
