You will want to use the ncdump tool.
Start by doing the command
ncdump -h <your file name>
This will show you the variables in your
data.
If you want to then get some specific variable,
XX say, the do the command
ncdump -v XX <your file name>
This will output the contents of that variable
in ascii format.
