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.

Abstract:
Radiation measurements made during the spring 2008 cruise to the Fram Strait. Transmission of light through ice, measured by divers on day 4 of fifth floe. At fourth site, approx. 20 m from ice edge, 0.42 m snow on 1.04 m ice. Each measurement type (incident, reflected, etc) was made with a different TriOS Ramses spectroradiometer. These are known to have calibration issues at the longest and shortest wavelengths for which data are reported; we recommend using only data from about 350 to 920 nm. No significant quality control has been done to these data.

Snow samples are collected to the polyethylene sterile bags and are taken to the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. After melting at room temperature, the pH, conductivity and chemical composition (major ions) are analysed at the Polish Polar Station’s chemical laboratory. Snow chemical composition: major ions, HCO3-, pH, conductivity

Abstract:
In February 2011, the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center installed Alexander Tall Tower!, a 30-m-tall automatic weather station located on the Ross Ice Shelf at 79.0238S, 170.6998E. The surface elevation at the tower site is 55 m. There are six observational levels over the 30-m height of the tower that allow for analysis of the lower portion of the boundary layer in this region. In total, there are six temperature sensors, four aerovanes, two wind anemometers, two relative humidity sensors, a net shortwave and net longwave radiation sensor, a pressure sensor, and an acoustic depth gauge (to measure snow depth). The heights of each tower level are approximate, as snow accumulation and drift can slightly affect these; however, efforts are made to restore these heights when the site is visited every year or two. Having multiple levels of observation allows for computation of the sensible and latent heat fluxes using bulk flux formulations with the mean atmospheric measurements from the tower. These flux estimates allow us to quantify this portion of the Ross Ice Shelf’s role as an atmospheric energy sink.
Results of the geochemical and magnetic studies on natural mineral aerosol deposited and trapped in glaciers (cryodust). Samples were collected from glacial cores taken from five glaciers of Southern Spitsbergen (Svalbard, Norway). The samples were collected by means of a hand-operated Kovacs Enterprise® Mark II coring system. Samples (90 mm in diameter) were packed into polyethylene bags, secured, and transported to the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. The core samples were rinsed using deionized water (Polwater DL100; Norm PN-EN ISO 117 3696:1999; conductivity <0.06 μS/cm) and melted at room temperature in the closed new polyethylene bags. After melting samples were filtered through pre-rinsed sterile Millipore Mixed Cellulose Esters filters (white gridded and 0.45 𝜇𝜇m pore size). After filtration, the filters with residuum were dryer at the temperature of 60oC.Solid particulates of cryodust were subjected to analysis by Electron MicroProbe (EMP) with special attention paid to their internal structure. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) fitted with a backscattered electron (BSE) detector was used to trace grains topography and composition. Special attention was given to monazite chemical dating. Magnetic methods comprised analyses of magnetic susceptibility κ vs temperature T variations and determination of magnetic hysteresis parameters.More about the methodology, analyses and results can be found here: https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos11121325

Abstract:
Radiation measurements made during the spring and summer2009 near the sailing
vessel vagabond, frozen in at Inglefieldbukta in Storfjorden, Svalbard. Each
measurement type (incident, reflected, etc) was made with a different TriOS
Ramses spectroradiometer. The incident and reflected sensors were installed on a
rack frozen into the ice in mid April. The transmitted sensor was held in an
underwater rack hanging just below the ice. It was installed in early May
through a core hole, which subsequently refroze. These sensors are known to have
calibration issues at the longest and shortest wavelengths for which data are
reported; we recommend using only data from about 350 to 920 nm. No significant
quality control has beendone to these data.
