If you use the Fortran-90 interface, then you can use the routine

    nf90_inq_varid(ncid, name, varid)

to get the netCDF variable-id of the wanted variable.  You can use the
routine

    nf90_Inquire_Variable(ncid, varid, name, xtype, ndims, dimids,
        nAtts)

to get more information about the variable -- especially its type.

To get the values of the variable, you can use the routine

    nf90_get_var()

For more information on how to use the netCDF package, see the web page
