i have total 364 number of .nc files and i want to read only 10 .nc files with lat,lon,time,and soilmoisture.

In this data lat,lon,time and soil moisture are the variables and they all are same for this 10 files except soil moisture data. It is different in each files. When i use this code the the 10 files are not reading together.

path = home to file folder

file_num = 10;

files = dir('10*.nc')

for i = 1:length(file_num)

sm(i) = ncread(i,'sm')

end

[Mathieu NOE]

your for loop is wrong

for i = 1:file_num
    sm(i) = ncread(files(i).name,'sm')
end
