I would try time aggregation on the inside loop. Something like this:
<dataset name="IPCC data" ID="ippc_agg" urlPath="ipcc/agg.nc">
<serviceName>odap</serviceName>
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation type="union">
<!-- SSH -->
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/zos/ssh_1970_2000.nc"/>
<!-- SST -->
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation dimName="time" type="joinExisting">
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/thetao/sst_1970_1980.nc"/>
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/thetao/sst_1980_1990.nc"/>
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/thetao/sst_1990_2000.nc"/>
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
<!-- SAL -->
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation dimName="time" type="joinExisting">
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/so/sal_1970_1980.nc"/>
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/so/sal_1980_1990.nc"/>
<netcdf location="/data/IPCC/20c3m/ocn/mo/so/sal_1990_2000.nc"/>
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
</dataset>
