Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Dear list members, thank you all very much for your quick and helpful answers. It turned out that what I needed to know was that I am dealing with a 'curvilinear' grid in my input file. Knowing that, I could search for correspondent code examples and found this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18665078/loop-through-netcdf-files-and-run-calculations-python-or-r/18666291#18666291 This code actually does exactly what I wanted. Thanks again, best regards, Michael
