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.
The Hive Wireless sensor network project designed and assembled automatic weather stations that are currently installed at Kongsvegen glacier in Svalbard and records near surface meteorological variables: air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, snow height, wind, surface skin temperature... The HiveWSN kit consists of: 1) a brain box containing the power system, the microcontroller, the communication system and the connectivity to the sensors, 2) A set of sensors either commercially available or custom built at the Department of Geosciences at UiO as part of the UiO Hive project. The kit is autonomous and packaged as a beam that can be installed on simple mast. Currently, there are two versions of the WSN system: v1 from 2019, and v2 from 2021. Both are based on the board Wasmpote v15 which handle power, communication, and data brokerage. The firmware running all instances has been written as part of the project UiO Hive, and include a set of tools described on the HiveWSN project website: https://www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/research/projects/hive. Important note: the height of the sensor to the snow/ice surface is not corrected for variations in surface deposition or melt over time. The sensor box is fixed to a stake drilled into the snow/ice.

Near-surface remote sensing techniques including hyperspectral sensors are essential monitoring tools to provide spatial and temporal resolution. More frequent and finer scale observations help to monitor specific plant communities and accurately time the phenological stages of vegetation and snow cover, A Hyperspectral field sensor (FloX) was installed as an integral part of an automatic system for monitoring vegetation and environmental seasonal changes (phenology) on Svalbard (AsMoVEn) funded by SIOS. The fluorescence box (FloX) is a unique instrument, enabling continuous observation of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF). FLoX measures spectral data of extremely high resolution, The FloX is specifically designed to passively measure chlorophyll fluorescence under natural light conditions. The core of the system is the QEPro spectrometer from Ocean Optics covering the Red/Near Infrared region (650 – 800 nm) with a spectral resolution (FWHM) of 0.3 nm. This is the spectral range where chlorophyll fluorescence is emitted and where the two atmospheric oxygen absorption bands (O2B and O2A, at 689 nm and 760 nm respectively) are used to measure it. The FLoX has an additional spectrometer measuring in visible and NIR-region (400– 950 nm) with a spectral resolution (FWHM) of 1.5 nm allowing extraction of different vegetation indices from the visible and near-infrared region.

Abstract:
Since 2020, during the accumulation season, snow samples are collected from the Ariebreen glacier a 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. Site Information Ariebreen - 0.5 km long glacier between Skoddefjellet and the northern part of Ariekammen, southernmost in Wedel Jarlsberg Land.
