Since the base-href was removed in the first output, you'll have
to add it yourself in the 2nd invocation of Wget. Something like:

  wget -q -O - http://sodaserver.tamu.edu/assim/SODA_2.2.4/ | grep _2009 |
   wget -N --base=http://sodaserver.tamu.edu/assim/SODA_2.2.4/ --wait=0.5
  --random-wait --force-html -i -

But I think you could just do:
  wget -rq -nd -np -A.cdf --accept-regex=.*_2009.* 
http://sodaserver.tamu.edu/assim/SODA_2.2.4/

directly.
