Template:NOAA normals/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Temporary note

[edit]

As of August 2016, most of links to NOAA used the old style broken URLs, without this template. For example:

ftp://dossier.ogp.noaa.gov/GCOS/WMO-Normals/RA-I/SC/63980.TXT

This has changed on the NOAA website to:

ftp://ftp.atdd.noaa.gov/pub/GCOS/WMO-Normals/RA-I/SC/63980.TXT

Links should be updated, applying this template in the process: example diff.

Usage

[edit]

Template is used for linking to sources for climate statistics, on the NOAA ftp site.

  1. |id= – slug of NOAA page URL
  2. |title= – text to display; if no value is entered, defaults to page name with suffix " Climate Normals"
  3. |access-date= – for use in a citation

Examples

[edit]

For the document about The Seychelles, at ftp://ftp.atdd.noaa.gov/pub/GCOS/WMO-Normals/RA-I/SC/63980.TXT the |id= is RA-I/SC/63980.
