The way I did was something like follow

? set data etopo60
? def axis/x=120e:105e:1 xaxis
? def axis/y=22:62:1 yaxis
? def grid/x=xaxis/y=yaxis ngrid
? set region/@N  -> or other region you can redefine
? save/file=north.cdf rose[g=ngrid]

then I use ncdump

ncdump -f fortran north.cdf > north.cdl
You can edit the cdl file

Note! Please see in the manual man ncdump. There are many ways
to ncdump, including the dumping only the data part.
I hope this will help you. Or Steve will help you in a better way
