You have two options:

    1.  Install a software package that can extract, manipulate, and
        (possibly) display the data in which you are interested.  A list
        of such packages can be found at

            http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html

    2.  Write a program that does what you want.  Unfortunately, I don't
        have the time to teach you how to do this.  Fortunately, other
        resources are available:

        A.  The netCDF-3 User's Guide for C and Fortran:

                http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/docs.html

        B.  netCDF interfaces for the Java, Perl, Ruby, MATLAB, Python 
            languages can be found at

                http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/index.html

        C.  Inquiries can be posted to the netCDF mailing-list:

                http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/mailing-lists.html

I think I would try option #1 first.

Good luck.
