Howdy Sina!

As it says in the C manual, nc_get_varm_float is looking for a float *:

     int nc_get_varm_float (int ncid, int varid, const size_t start[],
                            const size_t count[], const ptrdiff_t stride[],
                            const ptrdiff_t imap[], float *fp);

Here's how we did something similar in a 3D example which will be released as 
part of version 3.6.2:

      if ((retval = nc_get_vara_float(ncid, pres_varid, start,
                                      count, &pres_in[0][0][0])))
         ERR(retval);
 
Please let me know if you need more help.

Thanks!
