netCDF coordinate system question

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to define a coordinate system in a netCDF data file
which includes a stretched vertical grid **with terrain**. This
means that the vertical coordinate is not uniform over the entire
domain *or* in a 2-D x-y plane. In other words, a point at
3,5,18 will have a physical height of 4.0, but a point at
6,12,18 will have a physical height of 12.0. If I can use the
physical height to define the 3-D coordinate system, that would
be great, but I have yet to find a way to define this coordinate
system in netCDF. Does anyone have experience in defining a
stretched vertical grid w/terrain in a netCDF file? If you do,
please let me know! Thanks very much for your help!!
