Hi Soumik,
Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question.

The simplest answer is that you can open each file separately, by calling
the nf90_open function once for each file. This will give you back a
different netCDF ID for each file, and then you can use those netCDF ID's
in subsequent calls to read the data from all the open files, something
like:
integer, parameter :: NFILES = 3
! Array of netCDF IDs
integer :: ncid(NFILES)
! Open the files
nf90_open("temp_01.nc", nf90_nowrite, ncid(1))
nf90_open("temp_02.nc", nf90_nowrite, ncid(2))
nf90_open("temp_03.nc", nf90_nowrite, ncid(3))
! Read from file i using ncid(i)
...
nf90_inq_varid(ncid(i), VAR_NAME, ...)
If you actually want all the data to look like it comes from one file,
there are two approaches:
1. Use a utility program, such as the ncrcat or ncecat utlities
from the NCO (netCDF operators) package to merge the separate
files into one file and then read from that. See
http://nco.sourceforge.net/
2. Put the files on a TDS server and create an NcML file that
aggregates the separate files to make them look like a single
file, accessed by having your client program access data through
the NcML wrapper on the server. See

If you are writing data, you can use another NCO program, ncpdq or
ncap, to automatically calculate the scale factor and add offset
values and supply the appropriate attributes:
