Hi Kapil,

There are several ways to merge multiple netCDF files into one file.

Using the netCDF-Java software, you can do "aggregation" with NcML,
as the example in the email response illustrates:

An explanation of aggregating with NcML is here:

Another way to merge files is by using the NCO (netCDF Operators) package:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/

where the programs "ncecat" and "ncks" might do what you want:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncecat-netCDF-Ensemble-Concatenator
  http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncks-netCDF-Kitchen-Sink

Finally, if you are familiar with one of the scripting languages Perl, Python,
or Ruby, you could use the corresponding netCDF interface to read data from
the input files and write it to the output file more easily than writing a
C or Fortran program to do the same thing.
