You might want to try out gdalUtils (
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/gdalutils/) to first
?get_subdatasets to determine the index of the subdataset you want to use,
and then
gdal_translate("myncdf","myncdf.tif",of="GTiff",sd_index=someindex) -- once
you do this translation, you can use e.g. raster to do processing without
loading the entire file into memory.
