When you use OZONE(0,:,0,0), you are passing a one-dimensional
array (level) to a contouring routine. Contouring routines
require 2D arrays.

Not sure what you want to plot.

   OZONE(:,:,{latitude},0) ; time x lev at some specified lat
   OZONE(:,{level},:,0) ; time x lat level
   OZONT(nt,:,:,0) ; level x lat time

NCL has some graphical contouring templates. See

    Click Graphics
    Under "PLOT TYPES" see
           Press/Height vs. Lat
           Press/Height vs. Long
           Press/Height vs. Time
           Time vs. Longitude
           Time vs. Latitude
