Reading multiple netcdf files and then produce a single Matlab matrix

Hello,

I've got various netcdf file, in total 1000. In order to make things easier, I'm working with 3 of them at the moment.

The netcdf files are located in a folder called 'OUTPUT' and are called 'output1.SOILA.01h.nc', 'output2.SOILA.01h.nc' and so on..

What I want to do is to loop over those nc files open them, read them and finally store the outputs in a single matlab matrix.

The code I used until now in order to read a single netcdf file is below, but how do i handle 1000 of them?

function data = ReadNetCDF_SA

fn='./OUTPUT/output1.SOILA.01h.nc';

ncid = netcdf.open(fn,'NC_NOWRITE');

[ndims nvars natts dimm] = netcdf.inq(ncid);

data.filename=fn;

 for i=1:nvars

     [varname, xtype, varDimIDs, varAtts] = netcdf.inqVar(ncid,i-1);

     disp(varname);

     varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,varname);

    data=setfield(data,varname,netcdf.getVar(ncid,varid));

 end

 netcdf.close(ncid);

 end

Thanks a lot,

Christina
