Hello Alex,
> I am about to download the latest version NCL 4.2.0 for my installed

> Should I download OPeNDAP-enabled one or the not-OPeNDAP-enabled one?
> What does OPeNDAP stand for?
OPeNDAP stands for OPen Network Data Access Protocol; see
http://www.opendap.org
OPeNDAP functionality allows a user to access data remotely, rather
than having to download/copy to a local system.
As an example, to open a file local to your host:
f = addfile("my.data", "r")
If "my.data" resided elsewhere (not local to your host) and you didn't
want to/couldn't download it, you could say:
f = addfile("http://fully/qualified/path/to/the/file/my.data", "r")
See the documentation:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfile.shtml
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/isfilepresent.shtml
and the example:
