MATLAB: Merging multiple .txt files into one NetCDF file

netcdftext file

Hi,
I have climate data from different stations in 37 separate .txt files (one per station). The text files all have 10 columns with different variables (precpitation, lat/lon etc), and one row per day (about 90 days), they all have the same days. I want to merge these .txt files into one .nc file. How would I go about doing that?

First,you can read the text files into tables of data using readtable. Merge the data of the 37 tables to a single table.Convert the table of data to a matrix as table datatype is not supported to write to a NetCDF file. Create a NetCDF file and a variable with 90*37 rows and 10 columns as dimensions using nccreate function.Write the matrix of data to the created variable using ncwrite function.
Refer to the documentation links of the below functions
readtable,nccreate,ncwrite
