Apparently netCDF must support the EASE grid, because a quick google
shows that there are many EASE grid data sets in netCDF. For example,
the Global EASE-Grid 8-day Blended SSM/I and MODIS Snow Cover data, from
NSIDC, right here with me in Boulder:
http://nsidc.org/data/docs/daac/nsidc0321_8day_ssmi_modis_blend/index.html

I don't know of any convention or tool that supports this explicitly,
but there may well be some. I suggest you ask on the CF and netCDF
mailing lists. The CF mailing list can be found here:
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata

The netCDF mailing list can be found here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/

Good luck!
