[ncl-talk] How to combine many nc files from different folders

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Setareh,
See the examples on the addfiles documentation page:
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfiles.shtml

Whatever syntax works in your shell, will work for NCL. For instance this
might work:
fils = systemfunc ("ls */*.nc") ; file paths
print(fils)
f    = addfiles (fils, "r")
IF the only files in the directories are the ones your want, the ordering
is what you want, etc. See the output from print(fils). This may take some
trial and error, but the goal will be to set the correct syntax within
systemfunc to see only the files you want in the correct order that you
need them.
