I'm wondering if the following is possible. I need to concatenate a bunch of netcdf files at different times, otherwise they have the same data. The files have 1 time per file and I can not modify them. The time dimension was created as a fixed length variable. Thus to use ncrcat to merge the different times I need to one by one make a copy of the files where I have made time a record dimension, then call ncrcat. Is there anyway I can use ncecat to merge these files if a manner similar to ncrcat to avoid have to make a copy of every file I want to merge.
