Jim We plot trajectories here.
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/data/trajtool/traj.pl We use Fortran code to calculate the trajectories, stored the output in nertCDF and then use a NCL script to plot them. The script works pretty well (except where trajectories pass over 0E). We looked into CF complaint netCDF trajectories standard a while back but didn't implement them. Part of the reason was that the code output into it's own netCDF format. Still, we could have reread and stored the data. I think we would have needed to change how time was handled. Also, times went backward for back trajectories and we weren't clear if that was okay. We may try to transition to CF at some point.
