No TIN support is unfortunate.  I guess it means that I need to pick a
single compromise spatial resolution, and that will cause all sorts of
problems near the coastal boundary.

The TIN consists of two types of ascii files: 
1) grid details: node, lat, long, code for type of node (wet, coastal,
boundary, etc), approx depth, and pointers to linked nodes
2) temperature and salinity files: 52 specified depth levels (-5000m to
0m), rows of T/S data at the 52 levels for all nodes

Do I recall some TIN support in the GDAL library somewhere? (I can no
longer find it)

"Dynamic ocean topography for the northeast Pacific and its continental
margins
M. G. G. Foreman, W. R. Crawford, J. Y. Cherniawsky, and J. Galbraith"

"... the triangular grid was constructed with the software
package GRIDGEN and its predecessor TRIGRID [Henry
and Walters, 1993]. It has 97,959 nodes, 169,869 triangles
and a resolution that varies from 100 m in some narrow
coastal channels to 70 km in the deep ocean. The grid is
essentially a combination of that used by Foreman et al.
[2000a] for the northeast Pacific with the high resolution
Vancouver Island grid described by Foreman et al.
[2004]. Model depths were computed by a smooth
interpolation of data from the Canadian Hydrographic
Service, Smith and Sandwell [1997], National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts and
GEODAS hydrographic survey data."

GeoServer does not support TIN data as far as I know. To publish it you
probably have to turn it into a raster.

Out of curiosity, what data format is the TIN stored in?

Cheers
