how to get variables from a netcdf file

Hi, could anyone help me? I imported this netcdf file of a weather wrf model, which analyzed some parameters for the month of June 2017. I don't know how to see the temperature variable, given that it has 3 dimensions (171x171x720). How can I get something like this for this variable, for example a column for the date (01/06/2017 00:00:00, 01:00:00 etc..) and a column for the temperature 15.7, 13.2 etc. also having the coordinates (lat,lon) as reference.

Thanks so much to anyone who can help me :)

As per usual, you'd probably find more folks willing to poke at it in more detail if you were to attach the file for them to work with...

But, in general, you will use find() or ismembertol() to locate the position in the XLONG, XLAT arrays of the desired coordinates, then use that pair of values to index into the T2() array by the third dimension as T2(ix,iy,:) that will return a vector if ix,iy are single points. That will depend upon whether the grid is regular as presume will be, but we can't see it from here to know for absolute certain.

In order to see the temperature variable, you will need to plot in an specified time. To find a specific date, it would be better to have time variable as datetime:

mystring = ncread(filename,'Times');
time = datetime(my_string,'InputFormat','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S'); % where my_string is your t variable

To find an specific datetime, for example "01/06/2017":

date = datetime('2017-06-01'); % considering only one date
td = ismember(time,date); % logical values, being 1 the only ones with the date specified

% Extract only one date in T2 data.

T2date = t2(:,:,td); % this will extract only the times that have the date in question.

[LAT LON] = meshgrid(lat,lon);

figure(1)
for i=1:length(T2date(1,1,:)) % to show time per time the T2 values in a LAT LON grid
    pcolor(LAT,LON,t2date(:,:,i)), shading interp
    pause(0.5) % in order to see each time with a 0.5 seconds duration
end

Let me know if this helps.
