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:
The SVIM archive contains results from an ocean and sea ice hindcast. The original version of the archive covered the period 1960-2011, and has later been extended on several occasions. The results are provided on a 4km polar stereographic grid projection, and the ocean model has a vertical resolution of 32 s layers. The focus is an adequate representation of the Atlantic influenced water masses within the Nordic Seas and the Barents Sea. Less emphasize has been put on the areas downstream of the Arctic bound Atlantic Water flow, i.e. the Arctic Ocean and the Greenland Sea. There were multiple aims for this product, including (1) process studies within physical oceanography, (2) representation of oceanographic conditions for other applications such as primary production models and individual-based models for zoo- and ichtyoplankton, (3) boundary values for smaller scale model studies. For ocean circulation the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS; https://www.myroms.org/) was used (v.3.2 up to and including September 2018, v.3.5 thereafter). The sea-ice model used is similar to the module described in Budgell (Ocean Dyn. 2005). Boundary values for the ocean model were derived from the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation dataset (SODA v.2.1.6), while boundary values for the sea ice conditions were taken from a regional simulation (Sandø et al., JGR 2012). After 2008, the ocean boundaries were forced with monthly climatologies from 2000-2008, while for ice conditions after 2007, the 2000-2007 monthly climatologies were used. Tidal forcing was based on the global ocean tides model TPXO4. The quality of the model results for the original archive period were assessed by Lien et al. (2013; https://www.hi.no/resources/publikasjoner/fisken-og-havet/2013/fh_7-2013_swim_til_web.pdf).

Wind field ensembles from six CMIP5 models force wave model time slices of the northeast Atlantic over the last three decades of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The future wave climate is investigated by considering the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios.The CMIP5 model selection is based on their ability to reconstruct the present (1971–2000) extratropical cyclone activity, but increased spatial resolution has also been emphasized.

Abstract:
The CryoClim FSC product provides daily information on fractional snow cover(0-100 %) per grid cell for global land areas except permanent snow and iceareas with 5 km grid size. The product is based on multi-sensor/time-series fusion of AVHRR, SMMR, SSM/I and SSMIS data eliminating cloud cover and polar night, resulting in a temporally consistent snow map.

Digital geological map of Svalbard at the scale of 1:750000.
Subdivision of geology is according to stratigraphic group, subgroup or formation, depending on which is best applicable to the given scale. Where no formations are defined in parts of the geological basement, lithological units are defined instead

The data set contains information on weather, sea state, sea ice and icebergs recovered from the logbooks and meteorological journals of three Norwegian vessels during their five voyages to the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. The following information was recovered from the keyed and translated logbooks. Factory ship (FS) Antarctic: sea ice notes, icebergs, meteorological information, state of sea surface. FS Svend Foyn: sea ice notes, icebergs. Research vessel (RV) Norvegia: sea ice notes, icebergs; meteorological information. The observations cover the spring to early fall periods of 1929-1933. Details on data sources, methods used and basic analysis conducted on the data are found in the attached project report file.

The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) has established a digital archive for polar geological samples. Available through the Norwegian Polar Institute data centre, the archive contains information on locality, rock type, a short geological description and photos of the rock samples. For samples collected on previous expeditions, data was collected from available field notes and reports and each sample was photographed. Samples from recent and current field campaigns are added to the archive as part of the reporting for each project.
The archive is available as a searchable list of samples and a map view
The physical part of the archive is stored at the Fram Centre in Tromsø and contains rock samples from most of Norwegian Polar Institute’s geological expeditions to Svalbard and Dronning Maud Land. The material constitutes base data for knowledge on the geology of the Norwegian polar areas. Data from the samples have been used during production of the geological maps published by NPI and various research projects.
The sample archive represents great value for research on the natural environment in the Norwegian polar areas, not least due to the fact that the localities are remote and difficult to access.
Material from the sample archive can be made available for research purposes under certain terms. Interested researchers can contact NPI for more information on applying for samples for research projects.
This publication presents a dataset based on keying/tabulation/quality control of weather, sea ice and whale catch data from several catch logbooks of the Norwegian whaling company Thor Dahl A/S for the period of 1932-1963. These catch logbooks were logged during the whaling season while vessel was on the hunting grounds in the Southern Ocean. The logbooks used in this dataset were originally archived in Hvalfangstmuseet (Whaling Museum) in Sandefjord, Norway, which keeps much of the archive material connected to the Norwegian historical whaling industry. Later the documents were moved to the Vestfold archive in Sandefjord. During this study 56 catch logbooks were keyed and analysed. These catch logbooks cover the whaling seasons of 1932/33 to 1962/63, during which a total catch of 12 747 Blue whales was recorded. All relevant information about the catch (species and number) with associated ship positions, dates, weather and sea ice/icebergs conditions were keyed/tabulated into Excel spreadsheet. For details on the structure of catch logbooks as well as final published data structure, please see the attached metadata file.
