The fastest way to peek inside a NetCDF file without leaving VSCode.

Clickable Variables: Click any variable name to open a side panel with its full data (paginated for large variables).
Searchable Output: Search the ncdump output with Ctrl/Cmd+F.
Auto-launch ncview: Right-click a file in the Explorer → "Open in Ncview".
