How to Read Multiple Files (and plot numbers for each different time) ?

I want to process multiple netcdf output files quickly. At the moment
my code is set up to read in only one file, and when I want a different
file I have to edit it into the NCL code.I want to quickly process
multiple files at different times. An example of the was the code
currently reads in a file is included below. I actually want to
calculate the relative angular momentum for each file, rather than plot
each file. When I have the relative angular momentum for each plot I
them want to plot how that changes over time, where each of the files I
read in is output from the different times.

Can you tell me how to do this ?.

Thanks,
Helen.
