Hi Mathias,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this.

You should use the ncdump routine that is part of the netCDF package.
It lists out the contents of a netCDF file in ASCII format. Use of
ncdump is described in:

If you downloade a binary for the netCDF, you will have ncdump available
to you.

ncdump needs to be run from the command line. Try opening up an
MS-DOS window and running it by hand. After looking through the
online manual for the netCDF (URLs above), you should get a good idea
of how to run ncdump.

No, this is not true.

ncdump should be the simplest way to do what you are after. Let's first
work on getting ncdump working for you.
>Hopefully I will not have more questions after this one.
No worries.
