Template:NOAA normals/doc

Temporary note
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:.

Usage
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
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.
