Hi Maria,
the problem is not this, because already changed the data to float and not resolved, I need to access a range and he plots another.
Variable: fType: filefilename: tospath: tos.nc file global attributes: dimensions: time = 391 nbnds = 2 lat = 224 lon = 256 variables: double time_bnds ( time, nbnds ) long_name : Time Boundaries
      double time ( time ) units : days since 1800-1-1 00:00:00 long_name : Time actual_range : ( 66443, 78313 ) delta_t : 0000-01-00 00:00:00 avg_period : 0000-01-00 00:00:00 prev_avg_period : 0000-00-07 00:00:00 standard_name : time axis : T bounds : time_bnds
      float sst ( time, lat, lon ) remap : remapped via ESMF_regrid_with_weights: Bilinear remapping long_name : Monthly Mean of Sea Surface Temperature unpacked_valid_range : ( -5, 40 ) actual_range : ( -1.8, 35.31 ) units : degC add_offset : 0 scale_factor : 0.01 missing_value : 32767 precision : 2 least_significant_digit : 2 var_desc : Sea Surface Temperature dataset : NOAA Optimum Interpolation (OI) SST V2 level_desc : Surface statistic : Mean parent_stat : Weekly Mean standard_name : sea_surface_temperature cell_methods : time: mean (monthly from weekly values interpolated to daily) valid_range : ( -500, 4000 ) _FillValue : 32767
      double lat ( lat ) long_name : latitude units : degrees_north
      double lon ( lon ) long_name : longitude units : degrees_east

The SST data type in the file is short, you need to convert to float to get values in the actual range. When you read the data try
f = addfile(filename,"r")sst = short2flt(f->sst)

printMinMax(sst,1)
This should give you the values you want. The function short2flt uses the attributes scale_factor and add_offset associated with the variable to convert to float.
