Quoting from ncdump man page:
[...]
-p float_digits[,double_digits]
Specifies default precision (number of significant digits) to use in
displaying floating-point or double precision data values for attri-
butes and variables. If specified, this value overrides the value of
the `C_format' attribute for any variable that has such an attribute.
Floating-point data will be displayed with float_digits significant
digits. If double_digits is also specified, double-precision values
will be displayed with that many significant digits. In the absence
of any -p specifications, floating-point and double-precision data are
displayed with 7 and 15 significant digits respectively. CDL files
can be made smaller if less precision is required. If both floating-
point and double-presision precisions are specified, the two values
must appear separated by a comma (no blanks) as a single argument to
the command. If you really want every last bit of precision from the
netCDF file represented in the CDL file for all possible floating-
point values, you will have to specify this with -p 9,17 (according to
Theorem 15 of the paper listed under REFERENCES).
[...]
Hope this helps.
Graziano.
