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](../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](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).
|
|
|
|
## Decisions
|
|
|
|
None yet.
|
|
|
|
## Tasks
|
|
|
|
Not started; follow the per-filter review checklist in
|
|
[pipeline-plan.md](../pipeline-plan.md) §5.
