Close gaps found in a review of the documentation: - Track data/metrics/ and data/metric_sources.json in git so the data checker passes on a fresh clone (finding 23; decision logged) - State the Alaska and Hawaii coverage gap in the README limitations and extend finding 12 - File findings 24-26: the data-sources doc lacks gridMET and several pipeline commands; wettest/driest month are computed twice; solar GHI is written by the extreme-temperature apply step - Add the stale "fallback values" note to filter 2's tasks Tidy the document system: - Add docs/reviews/README.md with the numbering rules and a finding index - Rename koppen-mixed-display-plan.md to koppen-mixed-display.md and fix its stale Puerto Rico and "stage 5" text - Add the precipitation-month step to the README enrichment list - Describe the Current method / Previous method pattern in plan section 5 - Add CLAUDE.md with the project guardrails and doc layout Format filter-calculations.md so it renders on GitHub and in VS Code: inline math uses $...$, ranges use en dashes, and implementation references name functions instead of line numbers.

Filter 11: Solar GHI
Status: Not started.
Data key: meanDailyGlobalHorizontalRadiationKwhM2Day. Calculation:
filter-calculations.md §11.
Findings
9. The GHI formula assumes hourly, 365-day input. It is correct for the
current 60-minute, leap_day=false requests. If the request interval changes,
the energy sum needs an interval-hours multiplier; leap-day handling would
also need to change the divisor.
19. The data-sources doc recommends a GHI raster the pipeline does not use.
Source 4 in scripts/county_data_sources.md says county means should come
from a gridded annual GHI raster passed with --solar-ghi-raster. The app
values come from NSRDB polygon archive summaries, with representative points
as fallback, applied by apply_locally_extreme_metric_to_climate_data.py.
20. The base build labels any solar CSV as representative-point. In
build_county_climate_data.py, the --solar-ghi-csv help text calls it a
representative-point fallback, and the per-row source tag is always
solar-ghi-representative-point, but the documented build command passes
data/nrel/county_polygon_ghi_summary.csv. The apply step later replaces both
the value and the tag, so only the base build's output is mislabeled.
Cross-filter findings that affect this filter, in 00-cross-filter.md: 11 (inconsistent aggregation), 16 (the app's NSRDB source link no longer resolves), and 26 (finalized by the extreme-temperature apply step).
