=========================

To read the files ...

       fils = systemfunc("ls olrpred_2002_2005_lead*.nc")
       nfils = dimsizes(fils)

       do nf=0,nfils-1
          f = addfile (fils(nf), "r")
          ...
       end do

not sure of the structure of your data ...

but if you want to put a variable dimensioned, say, (nlat x mlon) in an array

       fils = systemfunc("ls olrpred_2002_2005_lead*.nc")
       nfils = dimsizes(fils)
       x = new ( (/nfils,nlat,mlon/), "float") ; create array to hold variables

       do nf=0,nfils-1
          f = addfile (fils(nf), "r")
          x(nf,:,:) = f->X
          ...
       end do
