# Filter 6: Annual precipitation

**Status:** Not started.

**Data key:** `annualPrecipIn`. Calculation:
[filter-calculations.md](../filter-calculations.md) §6.

## Findings

**3. Partial precipitation years are accepted.** One valid monthly precipitation
value is sufficient to produce `annualPrecipIn`; absent months silently lower
the annual sum. Requiring all 12 months, or recording completeness, would be
safer.
