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:
VAGABOND is a dedicated base camp for DAMOCLES, which main objective is to study
sea ice and brines formation. France Pinczon du Sel and Eric Brossier bring
their polar yacht VAGABOND and their experience to work with scientists for 5
years, on the East Coast of Spitsbergen 2004-2009. During the stay,
oceanographic, meteorological, radiometric and atmospheric soundings were made
in Storfjorden.

Abstract:
Arctic Ocean Experiment 2001 AOE-2001 was an icebreaker based field experiment
with a target on the formation of low clouds in the central Arctic summer during
July and August 2001. A main portion of the 2-moth experiment was a 3-week ice
drift from 89 to 88 degN. Main components of the meteorology part of the
experiment were surface-based remote- sensing observations, general meteorology
observations (weather staion and soundings) and boundary-layer observations on
the ice. For a complete review of the experiment and a full list of instruments,
see Tjernström et al. 2004 ("The summertime Arctic atmosphere: Meteorological
measurements during the Arctic Ocean Experiment (AOE-2001)" in Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society, 85, 1305 - 1321, and its on-line supplement
"Experimental equipment: A supplement to The summertime Arctic atmosphere:
Meteorological measurements during the Arctic Ocean Experiment (AOE-2001)").
Observations included in the dataset:
Observations from 2D-wind sonic anemometer on the mast of Oden during AOE-2001. Beware of flow distortion from the ship.
One-hour averaged cloud base observations from cloud base lidar and cloud radar during AOE-2001
Instant cloud-top observations from S-band cloud radar operating in two modes, a low-range high-resolution and a high-range low-resolution mode, respectively, obtained during AOE-2001. The presented data is the highest cloud top altitude observed.
Various meteorological observations from a mast placed on an ice-floe during AOE-2001
Turbulence statistics from sonic anemometer at 15 meters on the mast averaged over 15 minute obtained during AOE-2001
Turbulence statistics from sonic anemometer at 5 meters on the mast averaged over 15 minute obtained during AOE-2001
Various meteorological observations from Odens weather station situated at 35 metres ASL during AOE-2001. Winds may be subject to considerable flow distortion. Precipitation is in arbitrary units.

Wind profile data from 915 MHz profiler on foredeck of Oden obtained during AOE-2001
Atmospheric baloon sounding data obtained during AOE-2001. The observations are interpolated to a fixed grid for plotting purposes.
Measurements from the high range of the S-band cloud radar obtained during AOE-2001. The variables presented are radar reflectivity and hydro-meteor fall velocity.
Measurements from the low range of the S-band cloud radar obtained during AOE-2001. The variables presented are radar reflectivity and hydro-meteor fall velocity.
