Hi Sami, The Weather and Climate Toolkit ( http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/wct ) can handle curvilinear grids (2D lat/lon coordinate variables) and export nearest-neighbor resampled lat/lon data to a variety of GIS formats including ArcInfo ASCII GRID, GeoTIFF and NetCDF 3. The export can be run from the command-line as well as the user interface.
I tested with your file and noticed that there is a bug in the Toolkit when exporting data to NetCDF 3 when there is no time coordinate for the data. I will work on fixing this, but in the meantime you can adjust your file with a couple of lines of NcML to add a time coordinate. The other formats should work fine and may be all you need to get the data into a GIS. The curvilinear grid support is thanks to the work of Jon Blower, who developed the code as part of the NcWMS project. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
