Viewing Topography Data

I have lots of topography data that is convenient to read in as a 2D
rectilinear field, where the data variable is elevation, and the
coordinate variables are latitude and longitude.

To render this data usefully with field-to-mesh, it seems I need to convert  
this to a 3D irregular field, where the data variable elevation is
combined with the latitude and longitude to give each elevation point
a 3rd coordinate.

I checked the AVS center, but didn't see anything obvious that would 
do the trick.  Did I miss something there, or does anyone have a unsubmitted
module that would work?

Thanks,
