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:
Data from aircraft observations during two flights of the aircraft campaign
ARTIST (Arctic Radiation and Turbulence Interaction Study) caried out by AWI
1998. The first set of delivered files contain data from on-ice flow over the
Fram Strait (26 March 1998) including profiles of radiation fluxes in stratus
clouds over a region with closed pack ice. The second set of delivered files
contain data from a day with clod-air advection over the Barents Sea covered
with sea ice. The cold-air advection causes slight unstable stratification over
sea ice. A detailed description of both data sets is given in the Damocles
Deliverable Report D2.3-01 by Lüpkes and Hartmann (2007). The case with cold-air
advectiob is described also in Vihma et al. (2005, BLM, 117(2), 275-300)

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.

Abstract:
Data were collected using Aanderaa automatic weather station fixed on a 10 m
met. mast at the drfting Tara ice camp during September 2006 until December
2007. Data for every month are presented in separate files. Tara drifted on the
Arctic Ocean starting north from Severnaya Zemlya up to 88 degN and finishing in
Fram Strait east from Greenland. For a complete review of the measurements see

Abstract:
The data contain observations over lead with the helicopter borne instrument
HELIPOD, carried out by AWI during the winter arctic polynya study (WARPS) 2003
in the northern Fram Strait region. Data of 8 horizontal flight legs and of the
downstream and upstream profiles are given. A more detailed data description is
given in the Damocles Deliverable report D2.2-1 by Lüpkes and Hartmann, 2006

Abstract:
Radiation measurements made during the the second half of August2008 during a
long ice station from the ice breaker Oden. Each measurement type (incident,
reflected, etc) was made with a different TriOS Ramses spectroradiometer. See
Nicolaus et al., 2010, CRST 62(1) 14-28 doi:10.1016/j.coldregions.2010.03.001,
for more information. 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.
