There is a web page about netCDF on the T3E at NERSC:

    http://www.nersc.gov/software/netcdf/netcdf.html

but I don't know if this was built from the netCDF 3.3 release.

The problems we describe with building on the T3D and T3E in the INSTALL
file that comes with netCDF 3.3 indicate that we haven't succeeded in
porting to this platform yet.  We are trying to get help from someone at
NCAR who knows more about the T3E architecture to help us out with this.
