Hi Xueming,
Yes, for now, you will need to interpolate your U/V data to a rectilinear (regular) or curvilinear grid.
Or, you can try using the wmvect or wmvectmap procedures to plot single vectors. These two routlines are rather limited. See:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wmvect.shtml
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wmvectmap.shtml
Or see examples 8 and 9 at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/weather_sym.shtml
We do have it high on our list to add capabilities for drawing vectors on unstructured grids, but we're not sure when we'll get to it.

But all the vector functions (gsn_vector_*) in ncl need two dimensional u and v, such as u(:,:),v(:,:). How should I do for my unstructured grid data? Do I have to interpolate them to regular grid?
