A simple way to quickly visualize your data is to use CHIMPLOT with its templates: 

chimplotcm.py out.20030730_20030803_HW.nc template_HW_test_O3.par O3.png
---- " ------- for other variables

See http://www.lmd.polytechnique.fr/chimplot/help.php for more details.

Here are some templates, notably those for the 2003 Heat Wave test case found in CHIMERE documentation.
