It's useful for browsing data.

ncdump [-h|-c] [-v ...] [-k] [-t|-i] [-b lang] [-f lang]
       [-s] [-l len] [-n name] [-p fdig[,ddig]] [-x]    file.nc

  [-h|-c]            header only, or coordinates and header only
  [-v var1[,...]]    data for variable(s) var1,... only
  [-k]               output kind of netCDF file, instead of CDL
  [-t|-i]            output time data as date-time or ISO date-time strings
