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.
Polyploidy is a very important evolutionary mechanism. However, the advantages and disadvantages of polyploidy are far from being resolved. Saxifraga oppositifolia L. is a circumpolar arctic-alpine species, and one of these species where the effect of autopolyploidy has been overlooked. Three ploidy levels of autopolyploid origin are recorded (diploid, triploid and tetraploid). Saxifraga oppositifolia show considerable variation in both ecology and morphology; it thrives in a wide range of habitats, from early snow free, extremely dry ridges with long growing season, to moist snow beds with short growing season.
We establishment four transects through habitat gradients summer 2018, and added one extra transect summer 2019 in order to study the distribution of ploidy levels of Saxifraga oppositifolia different habitats. Plots were established in three main habitat types (Habitat 1: glacial or fluvial deposits in the valley bottom, Habitat 2: north-east facing slopes in mesic to dry heath vegetation. Habitat 3: dry, open ridges) following and altitudinal gradient from the valley bottom of the main Advent Valley and up the mountain following slopes facing North East in the entrance of Bjørndalen, Endalen, Todalen, Bolterdalen and Foxdalen. In total 15 habitat plots (20 m x 40 m) were established, and we randomly marked out and georeferenced 48 plants within each plot. Within each plot, we placed out data loggers, which measure temperature and for some plots also moisture. A range of different measurmnets, including vegetation analyses, genetic analyses, ploidy analyses and edaphic analyses have been performed, and additional data is still being collected (2021).
We aim to understand the origins of triploids and tetraploids, and identify genetic differences, and physiological and morphological traits related to ploidy levels, and relate these to niche differentiation and ecology.

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)

This dataset includes taxonomy and daily vertical export rates of planktonic protist cells, planktonic protist carbon (PPC), and zooplankton abundance and biomass fluxes. Samples were collected from long-term sediment traps deployed on moorings north and northeast of Svalbard from October 2017 to October 2018, as part of the Nansen Legacy (UiT, NO) and Arctic PRIZE (SAMS, UK).
Climatic change is of incredible importance in the polar regions as ice-sheets and glaciers respond strongly to change in average temperature. The analysis of seismic signals (icequakes) emitted by glaciers (i.e., cryo-seismology) is thus gaining importance as a tool for monitoring glacier activity. To understand the scaling relation between regional glacier-related seismicity and actual small-scale local glacier dynamics and to calibrate the identified classes of icequakes to locally observed waveforms, a temporary passive seismic monitoring experiment was conducted in the vicinity of the calving front of Kronebreen, one of the fastest tidewater glaciers on Svalbard (Fig. 1). By combining the local observations with recordings of the nearby GEOFON station GE.KBS, the local experiment provides an ideal link between local observations at the glacier to regional scale monitoring of NW Spitsbergen. During the 4-month operation period from May to September 2013, eight broadband seismometers and three 4-point short-period arrays were operating around the glacier front of Kronebreen.
The high Arctic Bayleva site is located on western Spitsbergen about 3 km from the settlement
of Ny Ålesund. The provided data set comprises snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth
measurements recorded by automated sensors installed in August 2019 close to the Bayelva
soil and climate station, running since 1998. The SWE is recorded using a Campbell Scientific
CS725 gamma ray sensor covering a footprint area of up to 55 m2. The snow depth is measured
using a Campbell Scientific SR50/AT ultrasonic distance sensor covering a footprint area of up
to 1.3 m2 close to the center of the SWE footprint. The provided data set furthermore includes
snow temperature measurements from two PT100 sensors installed at 0.04 and 0.2 m above
the ground within the fenced area of the nearby climate monitoring station. Additionally,
measurements of the snow dielectric constant are provided from a vertically installed TDR
probe inside the fenced area. Moreover the data set includes sporadic manual records of SWE
and snow depth, performed to validate the automated measurements.
The data is used in the paper "Dynamic response of a high Arctic glacier to melt and runoff variations", published in Geophysical Research Letters. For more details about the data we refer to the paper (https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL077252).
The dataset contains a concentration of organochlorine persistent organic pollutants in snow samples collected from top layer of snow, which corresponded to fresh snowfall in most cases (except DS location, where there was a 20 cm top layer sampled weekly). All snow samples have been collected within one month during spring 2019, in the vicinity of the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. Snow sample location names ending in .1, .2 and .3 are local replicates of the same sample, i.e. the snow sampled according to the same protocol, samples taken within the spacing of 1-3 m from one another. Sample locations H, R, F and DS refer to: Hans glacier, Revdalen (valley), Fugleberget slope, and the Environmental hut (chamber) of the Polish Polar Station, respectively. All concentrations are given in ng/L of melted snow (water), i.e. ng/kg snow. Compound names are given at the top of columns denoting concentrations, for which an average of 3 analytical replicates and a standard deviation of those replicates is reported.The dataset is part of a project funded by SIOS (Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System) Research Infrastructure Access Project 2018_0009 Sval-POPs: Spatial VAriabiLity: VALidation dataset on POPs concentrations in snow.
Field measurements of aerosol vertical distribution carried out in Hornsund area, during the 2021 spring fieldwork. Data obtained using PMS7003 particle concentration sensor, capable of detecting aerosol particles with a size beyond 0.3 micrometer.
