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:
Gridded ice displacement fields obtained from satellite image processing. It is a low resolution product (62.5km resolution). The time span of the ice displacement is approximately 48 hours. This dataset is intended both for process studies and data assimilation. Daily products are freely available from the OSI SAF distribution chain.

Abstract:
A 9 month ice drift data set based on VIS and IR data
Data products generated by the Ocean Colour component of the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative project. These files are daily composites of merged sensor (MERIS, MODIS Aqua, SeaWiFS LAC & GAC, VIIRS, OLCI) products. MODIS Aqua and SeaWiFS were band-shifted and bias-corrected to MERIS bands and values using a temporally and spatially varying scheme based on the overlap years of 2003-2007. VIIRS was band-shifted and bias-corrected in a second stage against the MODIS Rrs that had already been corrected to MERIS levels, for the overlap period 2012-2013; and at the third stage OLCI was bias corrected against already corrected MODIS, for overlap period 2016-07-01 to 2019-06-30. VIIRS, MODIS, SeaWiFS and MERIS Rrs were derived from a combination of NASA/s l2gen (for basic sensor geometry corrections, etc) and HYGEOS Polymer v4.12 (for atmospheric correction). OLCI Rrs were sourced at L1b (already geometrically corrected) and processed with polymer. The Rrs were binned to a sinusoidal 1km level-3 grid, and later to 1km geographic projection, by Brockmann Consult/s SNAP. Derived products were generally computed with the standard algorithmsthrough SeaDAS. QAA IOPs were derived using the standard SeaDAS algorithm but with a modified backscattering table to match that used in the bandshifting. The final chlorophyll is a combination of OCI, OCI2, OC2 and OCx, depending on the water class memberships. Uncertainty estimates were added using the fuzzy water classifier and uncertainty estimation algorithm of Tim Moore as documented in Jackson et al (2017). and updated accorsing to Jackson et al. (in prep).

Abstract:
Sea ice concentration charts based on a manual interpretation of different satellite data. The main satellite sensor used are the SAR sensor (Synthetic Aperture Radar) suplemented by visual and infrared sensors and data from passive microwave sensors. As part of the Copernicus project the sea ice concentration product is gridded to a 1km spatial resoluton and converted to a NetCDF format. The concentration intervals follow the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) total concentration standard. A new product is delivered every weekday around 1500 UTC.

Abstract:
This climate data record of sea ice concentration is obtained from coarse resolution passive microwave satellite data over the polar regions (SMMR, SSM/I, and SSMIS). The processing chain features: 1) dynamic tuning of tie-points and algorithms, 2) correction of atmospheric noise using a Radiative Transfer Model, 3) computation of per-pixel uncertainties, and 4) an optimal hybrid sea ice concentration algorithm. This dataset was generated by the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF). The ESA CCI Programme contributed with Research and Development on the algorithms. The algorithm and validation of the dataset are described in Lavergne et al. (2019, https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-13-49-2019)
