You can logically aggregate these files either with NcML or use the handy Data Chooser option that allows you to aggregate-by-time (under "Data Choosers", pick "Directory" type, and then in the "Data Source Type" of that Chooser, select "Aggregate Grids by Time"... tom On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Luis Del Castillo <luis.delcastillo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks Tom but since am using grads to print images and netcdf files I get > one file every 24hr so am using 32 files.
