looping through files with different extensions

Hi all, I am trying to make a for loop invoking files with different extensions (*.ugrd and *.vgrd) and I cant just make it work. Cant figure out how to load the files so as to use them in subsequent commands like the ones in this pseudo code. the files are arranged such that in one date for instance, it has both a .ugrd and .vgrd, that is, 19990101.ugrd; 19990101.vgrd; 19990102.ugrd; 19990102.vgrd and so on

Code:
for i in *.ugrd
    do take the sqrt of the 19990101.ugrd  > $i.txt
for j in *.vgrd
    do take the sqrt of the 19990101.vgrd > $j.txt
         take the sum of the $i.txt $j.txt > $j.xyz
      done
done

taking the sum part doesn't call the right pair of the file. Smilie
any help would be greatly appreciated. many thanks.

NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database. -A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base. -M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base. OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. EXAMPLES To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt SEE ALSO
x2sys_binlist(1), x2sys_cross(1), x2sys_datalist(1), x2sys_get(1), x2sys_init(1), x2sys_list(1), x2sys_put(1), x2sys_report(1) GMT 4.5.7 15 Jul 2011 X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)
