For netcdfread_4D.f90, you are using the wrong variable names for
what's actually in the netCDF file you're reading.  Try:

!      character (len = *), parameter :: LAT_NAME = "latitude"
       character (len = *), parameter :: LAT_NAME = "TLAT"
!      character (len = *), parameter :: LON_NAME = "longitude"
       character (len = *), parameter :: LON_NAME = "TLONG"

For the second program, netcdfread_4D.f90, the same problem occurs,
since there is no variable in the file named "data".  If you want to
read values of the variable named "BSI", try:

!      character (len = *), parameter :: VAR_NAME='data' 
       character (len = *), parameter :: VAR_NAME='BSI'
