Hi Oh-ig,

> Are you aware of netCDF data product for GIS application?

Yes.  ESRI software, such as ArcGIS, supports access to netCDF
data and use of netCDF for multidimensional analysis.

> Specifically, I'm looking for an example of TIN 
> (triangular-Irregular-Network) format source data packaged into netCDF,

There's a different representation of irregularly gridded data using triangles
in netCDF, named UGRID:

Here was a mention of a way to convert specific UGRID data into TIN:

but UGRID can represent gridded data not representable in TIN, so
they aren't always convertable.
