Citation information for individual datasets is often provided in the metadata. However, not all datasets have this information embedded in the discovery metadata. On a general basis a citation of a dataset include the same components as any other citation:
author,
title,
year of publication,
publisher (for data this is often the archive where it is housed),
edition or version,
access information (a URL or persistent identifier, e.g. DOI if provided)
The information required to properly cite a dataset is normally provided in the discovery metadata the datasets.
If you use data retrieved through this portal, please acknowledge the SAON Data Portal.
Brief user guide
The Data Access Portal has information in 3 columns. An outline of the content in these columns is provided above. When first entering the search interface, all potential datasets are listed. Datasets are indicated in the map and results tabulation elements which are located in the middle column. The order of results can be modified using the "Sort by" option in the left column. On top of this column is normally relevant guidance information to user presented as collapsible elements.
If the user want to refine the search, this can be done by constraining the bounding box search. This is done in the map - the listing of datasets is automatically updated. Date constraints can be added in the left column. For these to take effect, the user has to push the button marked search. In the left column it is also possible to specific text elements to search for in the datasets. Again pushing the button marked "Search" is necessary for these to take action. Complex search patterns can be constructed using logical operators through the drop down menu above the text field. Text strings that are not quoted are treated as separate words and will match any of the words (i.e. assuming the OR operator). Phrases may be prefixed with '-' to indicate no occurence of the phrase in the results.
Other elements indicated in the left and right columns are facet searches, i.e. these are keywords that are found in the datasets and all datasets that contain these specific keywords in the appropriate metadata elements are listed together. Further refinement can be done using full text, date or bounding box constraints. Individuals, organisations and data centres involved in generating or curating the datasets are listed in the facets in the right column.

The dataset contains high resolution seismic reflection profiles from the inner part of Kongsfjorden, printed on paper, with selected profiles photocopied. The profiles were taken in summer 1974 during an investigation into glacial processes and the glacial history of Svalbard by G.S.Boulton. There was no attempt to systematically cover the whole of Kongsfjorden but to establish some profiles in what were judged to be critical or representative locations. It was hoped that the profiling would provide a seismic stratigraphy.
The dataset and data collection methods are described in the attached data report. The printed profiles are in storage at the Norwegian Polar Institute (geology archive).
Quality
The profiling system was based on a multi-electrode sparker. It was an analogue system with real time display of the profiling results, and no recording of the data to enable post acquisition processing. Adjustments to get optimum quality had to be done whist operating in the field situation, sometimes a quite difficult - and frustrating - task. Recording parameters could be quite sensitive.
The Norwegian Polar Institute measures mass balance on three glaciers, all in the Kongsfjorden area of north-western Spitsbergen, Svalbard. They are: Austre Brøggerbreen (data since 1967, Midtre Lovénbreen (since 1968) and Kongsvegen (since 1987). The first two are among the longest continuous high arctic glacier mass balance time-series. The Norwegian Polar Institute uses the so-called “combined method”, a mixture of the fixed-date and the stratigraphic methods, and comprises sounding of winter snow depth and repeated measurement of heights of an array of 8-10 stakes along the glacier centerline. Winter balance is obtained by snow-depth soundings over much of the glacier, an estimate of the autumn superimposed ice by shallow ice-cores along the longitudinal axis or at least by a measurement at the bottom of snow pits, stake height measurements, and snow density measurements. The work is carried out at the end of the accumulation period, in May. Stake positions are measured using differential GPS every year to monitor long-term velocity and elevation changes, both of which respond to the yearly mass fluctuations. Summer balance is obtained directly by comparing stake heights made in spring to fall stake measurements. The latter work is usually done at the end of the ablation period (in September and sometimes in October). Balance estimates are extrapolated over the entire glacier basin by using the distribution of glacier area per 50-m elevation band (hypsometry) obtained from maps or digital elevation models (DEMs). Net, winter and summer mass balance values are reported each year to MOSJ and as well to the World Glacier Monitoring Service.

Abstract:
Atmospheric variables needed to force terrestrial process models (permafrost, glacier mass balance, seasonal snow, surface energy balance), have been downscaled from the ERA 40 and ERA interim re-analyses using methodology described in the accompanying paper. The gridded dataset has a horizontal resolution of 1 km and covers the entire Svalbard archipelago. The data have a temporal resolution of 6h and cover the entire ERA40 period (1957-2002) and the ERAinterim period (1979-2016).
