How to output surface temperature using ncdump in WRF 4.3.3?

Hello,
I am trying to check the surface temperature from a WRF output file using ncdump, but I’m not sure which variable corresponds to surface temperature and how to properly extract it.
I am using WRF v4.3.3 with the urban canopy model enabled (sf_urban_physics = 1).
I would like to:
  • Know the correct variable name that represents surface temperature.
  • Understand how to extract it using ncdump (e.g., ncdump -v VARIABLE_NAME wrfout_d01_...).
Also, is it possible to get urban surface temperature directly if UCM is used?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
