Hello,

There are tools out there that will let you visualize/analyze/query across 
multiple files, treating an aggregation of files as a single data source; the 
only such tool Unidata provides is the THREDDS Data Server (TDS), which is 
server-side software and is non-trivial to configure.  I'm unaware of any other 
similar tools that can be used locally.  

I'm sorry I can't provide a more immediately useful answer; if you do create 
such a tool and make it publicly available, we would certainly be interested to 
know about it!

Have a great day,

-Ward
