Hi Luis:

NetcdfDataset.openDataset(" 
http://www.smast.umassd.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/FVCOM/NECOFS/Forecasts/NECOFS_GOM2_FORECAST.nc";); 
<http://www.smast.umassd.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/FVCOM/NECOFS/Forecasts/NECOFS_GOM2_FORECAST.nc.ascii?lon%5B26559%5D,lat%5B26559%5D,Times%5B0:1:72%5D,zeta%5B0:1:72%5D%5B26559%5D>

then you have to read each variable separately using

Variable.read(section);

BTW, send email to address@hidden, as it will get 
answered faster. thanks
