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 file contains time series of meteorological near-surface parameters measured on a temporary meteorological mast on the southern side of the coast of Adventdalen, Svalbard, from July to August 2022: Both temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction were measured at two levels.

A scanning Doppler Lidar was placed in Adventdalen (Central Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway) close to the permanent weather mast SN99870. The Lidar measured between 4 July and 23 August 2022 with different scanning patterns in an hourly cycle. The cycle consisted of three Plan Position Indicator (PPI) scans at 1, 5 and 10 degree from xx:00 to xx:10, Range Height Indicator (RHI) scans alternating between up-valley and down-valley direction from xx:10 to xx:50, Doppler-Beam-Swinging (DBS) technique from xx:50 to xy:00. The radial resolution was 10 m with overlapping range gates of 50 m. Short periods of power cuts were encountered. Frequently there were conditions with little backscatter and low carrier-to-noise ratio, especially in light down-valley winds.
