It looks like you have already discovered ncdisp, have a look at other functions in the same family: ncread and ncinfo. If you are just starting with NetCDF, have a look at the examples in the links above, it should give you enough information to extract data from your file.
If you have more questions, please add a more detailed description on what you need help with.
