Hi Mike.... By "default settings", what are you referring to? Color table? Range? Things like that? If so, then you want to use the Parameter Defaults (from the "Tools" menu....but you might want to read the User Guide on this!). Also, if the names in the parameter defaults table are not matched to your data field names, you can either create a new entry there, or add one to the Parameter Alias table. Regarding aggregating your netCDF files -- you can use probably use NcML to do this externally...but first I would look at the "Formula" in the Field Selector: Misc -> Make a time sequence... If you elect to use NcML, you might want to explore using the netCDF-java project's "ToolsUI" -- it provides a nice GUI for doing mundane things like "ncdump", but it also contains an NcML editor that allows you to get the NcML description of your file and then modify it, if needed -- we use this a lot to "fix up" things like units. For "time aggregation", though, you should look at the on-line NcML information as there are some examples there.
