dI assume you have two-dimensional lat/lon arrays.

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"

begin
    f = addfile ("...nc", "r")
    LAT = f->lat ; 2d
    LON = f->lon ; 2d
    
    x = f->whatever
    x@lat2d = LAT ; lat2d is 'sprecial' attribute to graphics
    x@lon2d = LON ; lon2d
    
    wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","demo")

    res = True
   ;res@gsnAddCyclic = True ; don't know your data
   
   
    plot = gsn_csm_contour_map_ce(wks,x,res) ; x is 2d
    
   or
   
    do nt=0,...
       plot = gsn_csm_contour_map_ce(wks,x(nt,:,:),res)
    end do
    
   or
   ...
  end
