There is a sort of clumsy way you can do this with ncdump now, by specifying
full annotation of the output ("-fc" or "-ff" for C or Fortran annotation,
respectively), and then filter the output with something like grep to show
just the coordinates you want.

A better tool for this currently is the NCO software, specifically the
"ncks" tool:

developed and maintained as open source software at the Univeristy of
California at Irvine.
