title: Merging netCDF files in anaconda prompt using NCO?
body: <p>i am really at a loss about how to merge netcdf files of different times <strong>in windows 10</strong>, especially merging all nc files in folder. Usually in my ubuntu system i use CDO and the code <code>cdo mergetime *.nc output.nc</code> and that does the job. Unfortunately, in windows, that's a whole different case for me. I went through these websites for solutions:</p>

  <p>Utilizing codes mentioned there, i came through diversity of errors, these are some the of the codes i ran, which i embedded as image titles, after running them i got these errors:</p>

  <p>This is probably happening cause my programming knowledge is very basic. Should i try running the codes in jupyter notebook or maybe spyder ? I would be really grateful if someone takes a look at this and refer me a possible solutions and help me merging netcf files with nco in windows. </p>
