Hi Didier,

There is a nice entry in the documentation on this topic
that makes ferret so smart and nice to use.

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/DEFINE#_define_data_agg

No need to physically merged the ensemble members with cdo or nco, you can stay with
separated files. Note that by experience, they must be homogeneous on
attributs and variables.
