Can I use MERRA-2 model's "500hpa geopotential height" monthly data in excel form for districts or I download the data in netcdf files and extract it?

26 January 2021 1 6K Report

I want to use MERRA-2 model's monthly data of 500hpa geopotential height for different districts of Pakistan (1980-2019). I want to download this data from NASA Giovanni and I want to select time series area averaged option but I am confused that should I download the data in excel form or netcdf?? Can anyone guide me that getting the data directly in excel is ok or first I download netcdf files for the whole country (Pakistan) and then extract each district and convert it to excel in the last??

Thank you.

In Excel file, it will be the average data for the whole region.

If you want to analyze district wise, download netcdf file and extract the regions from it. And then generate the time series.
