Yang Liu,

The ncdump of this result looks like:

netcdf wcs100 {
dimensions:
       xdim = 813 ;
       ydim = 711 ;
variables:
       double xdim(xdim) ;
               xdim:standard_name = "projection_x_coordinate" ;
               xdim:units = "m" ;
       double ydim(ydim) ;
               ydim:standard_name = "projection_y_coordinate" ;
               ydim:units = "m" ;
       int projection ;
               projection:grid_mapping_name = "transverse_mercator" ;
               projection:scale_factor_at_central_meridian = 0.9996 ;
               projection:longitude_of_central_meridian = 99 ;
               projection:latitude_of_projection_origin = 0 ;
               projection:false_easting = 500000 ;
               projection:false_northing = 0 ;
       double lon(ydim, xdim) ;
               lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
               lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
               lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
       double lat(ydim, xdim) ;
               lat:standard_name = "latitude" ;
               lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
               lat:long_name = "latitude" ;
       byte L71131056_05620041229_B10(ydim, xdim) ;
               L71131056_05620041229_B10:long_name

               :Conventions = "CF-1.0" ;
...

Is the set of projection parameters standard? Currently the GDAL NetCDF
driver does not seem to support your coordinate system conventions. In fact, I find it odd that you list projection parameters but you don't
give any bounds or other information about the image in that projection.
I think we need a way of encoding the projected origin and offset
vector information in the netcdf result.  You obviously have it for
generating the coverage description.
Best regards,
