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:
These CMIP5 model data show interpolated results in Arctic only. Original data
were cut and interpolated for internal use of the EU funded project ACCESS.
This dataset includes maps from the main map series that are published individually in print. A description of all maps of Svalbard was produced in 2007 and can be found here: N:\Geologi\Metadata\Kart\MATERIALOVERSIKT_hovedkartserien.doc. It needs to be updated at regular intervals and the three maps from Antarctica need to be included. Some links may no longer work, in that case the files can be found in the same folder.Pdf files and low resolution JPG files of all digitally produced geological maps are on N:\Geologi\Data_i_fil_format\Svalbard\Kart\SVALBARD MAPS COLLECTEDAn inventory over printed map sheets is on N:\Geologi\Metadata\Kart\Geologiske kart på lager_ny2010.doc. This needs to be updated with new published maps and maps on sale after March 2010. Map data is available at several scales: 1:3 000 000, 1:750 000, 1:200 000 (eastern islands), 1:100 000 (Spitsbergen) and 1:50 000 (Bjørnøya and Billefjorden). A geological GIS database of Svalbard is currently under construction. It will be stored on N:\Geologi\GIS_data. The database is subdivided into scales: 1:2 000 000, 1:750 000, 1:250 000, 1:100 000.
WMS-tjeneste. Tjenesten inneholder generalisert utgave av de offisielle topografiske data over Svalbard. Innholdet er begrenset i forhold til WMTS-tjenesten.
WMS service. The service contains the official topographical data for Svalbard. The content is limited compared to the WMTS service.
This data set consists of inferred accumulation rates from three radar layers (26, 35 and 41 thousand years old) in the Vostok Subglacial Lake region. Accumulation rates were inferred using Local-Layer Approximation (LLA), which assumes that the strain-rate history of a particle traveling through the ice sheet can be approximated by the vertical strain-rate profile at the current position of the particle, which the researchers assume to be uniform. Parameters include location, in latitude and longitude, polar stereographic coordinates, and local grid X and Y coordinates, along with layer age, in thousands of years (ka), and inferred accumulation rate (cm/a). The data cover a 150 by 350 km area.
Kartdata for sentrale deler av Dronning Maud Land.
Kartdataene inngår i den kontinentale kartdatabasen over Antarktis, Antarctic Digital Database (ADD). ADD er et samarbeid mellom kravshaverlandene i Antarktis. Mens D250 Kartdata kun dekker sentrale deler (ikke hele området som er definert i Geographic Coverage nedenfor), dekker ADD hele Dronning Maud Land, og har i tillegg oppdaterte kystlinjer mv. NP anbefaler at disse kartdataene benyttes i stedet for D250 Kartdata. Lenke til ADD er gitt nedenfor.
Map data for central parts of Dronning Maud Land.
The map data is part of the continental map database, Antarctic Digital Database (ADD). ADD is a collaboration between the claimant countries in Antarctica. While D250 Kartdata only covers central parts (not all the area defined in Geographic Coverage below), the ADD covers all of Dronning Maud Land, and additionally contains updated coastlines etc. NPI recommends using these data instead of D250 Kartdata. Link to ADD is provided below.
This dataset contains ground-based, co-polarized radar data collected using pulse-modulated 60 MHz and 179 MHz radar at 19 sites around a deep ice coring site near the Ross and Amundsen flow divide of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS Divide). At each site, the radar data were collected at 12 orientations of the radar polarization plane for three radar pulse widths: 250 nsec, 500 nsec, and 1000 nsec. Useful signals were received from depths roughly between 200 m and 2000 m. Ice flow velocities and strain configurations were measured at most of these radar survey sites, and these ice motion data are also provided at NSIDC (GPS-Measured Ice Velocities and Strain Data from the Ross and Amundsen Sea Ice Flow Divide, West Antarctica).
