read .nc file

hello,

   for a .nc file, with ncdump to look into it, i got:

netcdf \9477CHE--01-WH {
dimensions:
        Azimuth = 872 ;
        Gate = 480 ;
variables:
        float Azimuth(Azimuth) ;
                Azimuth:Units = "Degrees" ;
        float Beamwidth(Azimuth) ;
                Beamwidth:Units = "Degrees" ;
        float GateWidth(Azimuth) ;
                GateWidth:Units = "Meters" ;
        float Width\(Horizontal\)(Azimuth, Gate) ;
                Width\(Horizontal\):Units = "m/s" ;

// global attributes:
                :TypeName = "Width(Horizontal)" ;
                :DataType = "RadialSet" ;
...
 :Height = 120 ;
                :Time = -1 ;
                :FractionalTime = 0. ;
                :attributes = "NyquistVelocity vcp radarName ColorMap" ;
                :NyquistVelocity-unit = "MetersPerSecond" ;
                :NyquistVelocity-value = "31.62" ;
                :vcp-unit = "dimensionless" ;
                :vcp-value = "xxxx" ;
                :radarName-unit = "dimensionless" ;
                :radarName-value = "9477CHE" ;
                :ColorMap-unit = "dimensionless" ;
                :ColorMap-value = "SpectrumWidth" ;
                :Elevation = 1.5 ;
                :ElevationUnits = "Degrees" ;
                :MissingData = -99900. ;
                :RangeFolded = -99901. ;
                :RadarParameters = "PRF PulseWidth MaximumRange" ;
                :PRF-unit = "Hertz" ;
                :PRF-value = 1180 ;
                :PulseWidth-unit = "MicroSeconds" ;
                :PulseWidth-value = 0.4 ;
                :MaximumRange-unit = "KiloMeters" ;
                :MaximumRange-value = 120. ;
                :ConversionPlugin = "Vol2NetCDF Conversion for EDGE 5.0" ;
data:

 Width\(Horizontal\) =
  -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900,
    -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, -99900, 6.572832,
    6.3248, -99900, 5.952753, 4.340549, 7.688972, -99900, 6.820863, 6.820863,

...

how can i read for the varivable:

float Width\(Horizontal\)(Azimuth, Gate) ;
Width\(Horizontal\):Units = "m/s" ;

if it is

f->Width\(Horizontal\),

then the error is:

fatal:syntax error: line 47 in file radar_1.ncl before or near dsizes
  dsizes
-------^

plz show me how to do, many thanks.
