Hello,

I know I can use ncks to append two netCDF files which share a common
dimension, but I'd like to append two netCDF files which have (syntactically)
nothing in common. No shared dimensions, coordinates, nada. I just want a
combined netCDF file.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Mark

ncml can be used to create a "union" of two or more files. you can useucar.nc2.dataset.FileWriter to then copy to a physical netcdf file.


see

for more info on how to write the ncml.
