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

[Setareh Rahimi]

Dear Adam, and Dennis,
Thanks for your help. hopefully I could combine those files together, but
NCL tells there is something wrong with some files (attached image). In
order to check what could be wrong, I redownload 1983 files again and got
many warning for the second time. Any suggestion to remove those warning,
please?
Best wishes,
