The trimming would lead to a "ragged array".
NCL does not support this type of structure.
===
FYI only:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/grid2triple.shtml
Say: x(lat,lon)
Then: x1d = grid2triple (lon,lat,x) ; x1d(3,ld)
The x1d will contain only the non-missing values of the array.

Have a nice weekend!
