+Load a time series of data from the NEMO model
+==============================================
+
+This example demonstrates how to load multiple files containing data output by
+the NEMO model and combine them into a time series in a single cube. The
+different time dimensions in these files can prevent Iris from concatenating
+them without the intervention shown here.
