You can easily merge multiple netCDF files into one using netCDF4 package in Python. See example below:

I have four netCDF files like 1.nc, 2.nc, 3.nc, 4.nc. Using command below all four files will be merge into one dataset.

import netCDF4
from netCDF4 import Dataset

dataset = netCDF4.MFDataset(['1.nc','2.nc','3.nc','4.nc'])
