Template:Infobox weather event/NWS/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the National Weather Service scale, which uses the Saffir–Simpson scale.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/SSHWS, which in turn relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

TemplateData

A subbox for displaying meteorological information for a storm according to data from the National Weather Service (NWS). Should be used adjacent to an 'Infobox weather event' template, and before an 'Infobox weather event/Footer' template.

Template parameters

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
Child display?child

Whether this is a child box or not. Use `yes`, unless you're using this box standalone.

Default
yes
Example

Custom CSS for the box

Default
border-collapse: collapse
Stringoptional
Maximum sustained windswinds

The maximum sustained winds of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum wind gusts (provided with "gusts"). Supply value in knots.

Example
124
Numbersuggested
Maximum winds prefixwinds-prefix

Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.

Example
~
Stringoptional
Maximum winds suffixwinds-suffix

Suffix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.

Contentoptional
Maximum wind gustgusts

The maximum wind gust of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum sustained winds (provided with "winds"). Supply value in knots.

Example
