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 daily analysis of sea ice concentration is obtained from
operational satellite images of the polar regions. It is based on
atmospherically corrected signal and a carefully selected sea ice
concentration algorithm. This product is freely available from the

Abstract:
An X-ray scan of Priapulopsis bicaudatus. Sample collected by Bodil Bluhm in field (2019-08-16), preserved in 70% EtOH, then stored as a voucher specimen at The Arctic University Museum of Norway with collection number TSZY 427. Before scanning the specimen was encapsuled in wax, then imaged in a Zeiss Xradia Versa 620.
The dataset contains 2 archives. The first archive contains all data (saved as netCDF files) relative to the Figures presented in Boutin et al. (2023). The second archive contains monthly averaged fields (saved as netCDF files) of the simulation described in Boutin et al. (2023). They include quantities relative to sea ice properties (icemod files) and to the mass balance (ice growth/melt etc... simba files). They cover the north Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean (north of Bering Strait) for the period 2000-2018.
icemod_monthly.tar.gz contains the gridded monthly averaged quantities used in the manuscript "Modelling the evolution of Arctic multiyear sea ice over 2000-2018" for each year between 2000 and 2018.Multiyear ice variables are conc_myi (concentration of multiyear ice in a grid cell) and thick_myi (cell average thickness of multiyear ice in a grid cell, in metres), along with source and sink terms (units per day) for multiyear concentration (dci_mlt_myi, dci_ridge_myi and dci_rplnt_myi, for melt, ridging and replenishment) and volume (dvi_mlt_myi and dvi_rplnt_myi, for melt and replenishment).transports_monthly_sections.zip contains the transports of multiyear ice through the sections defining each region in Figure 8 of the paper. MYIsiaXport indicates multiyear ice area transport, while myiXport indicates multiyear ice volume transport.In case information is missing, do not hesitate to contact heather.regan@nersc.no, guillaume.boutin@nersc.no, or einar.olason@nersc.no.
On Svalbard, the long-lasting snow cover and the timing of the snowmelt is a crucial factor in the yearly cycle of all land ecosystems. To monitor the timing and patterns of snow melt, automatic camera systems have been set up at three locations overlooking key research areas near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. All images are provided in daily resolution, and the date coded in the filename as yyyy-MM-dd. This work was funded by SMACS (project no. 236768 / E10; Svalbard Science Forum, Research Council of Norway). ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.846617"!

Abstract:
During the accumulation season, snow samples were collected from the Hansbreen glacier. Few times per season. Snow samples are collected to the polyethylene sterile bags and are taken to the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. After melting at room temperature, the pH, conductivity and chemical composition (major ions) are analysed at the Polish Polar Station’s chemical laboratory. Snow chemical composition: major ions, HCO3-, pH, conductivity
