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.
Wind field ensembles from six CMIP5 models force wave model time slices of the northeast Atlantic over the last three decades of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The future wave climate is investigated by considering the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios.The CMIP5 model selection is based on their ability to reconstruct the present (1971–2000) extratropical cyclone activity, but increased spatial resolution has also been emphasized.

Abstract:
UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) established a light observatory at Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard, Norway) in January 2017. The observatory consists of an array of light sensors including an all sky camera. It is located outside the settlement of Ny-Ålesund, approximately 1 km N-NW of the airport towards Brandalspynten. The array of sensors is mounted on a tripod under a transparent dome. This dataset contains the data of the hyperspectral radiometer USSIMO (In-situ Marine Optics, Perth, WA, Australia), converted to E(PAR) by the following equation: PAR is approximated as an integral of micromolespersec=(uirr/(h*c/(lambda*1e-9)))/microavo for wavelengths(lambda) in range from 400 to 700nm, where: uirr = USSIMO irradiance for wavelength equal to lambda, h=6.63e-34 [Js], c=3.00e+08 [m/s], microavo=6.022e17. The sensor is equipped with a Zeiss MMS1 UV-VIS NIR detector with National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA traceable radiometric calibration between 380 and 900 nm. This instrument is used for time-series measurement of down-welling spectral irradiance in energy Wm-2 nm-1. Spectral resolution is 10 nm (3.3 nm pixel spacing) and a cosine-corrected polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) light diffusor with cosine error: <3% (0 - 60°), <10% (60 - 87.5°), is fitted. The device acquired measurements with a 16 bit analogue to digital converter. It samples continuously internally. Integration time is controlled by the sensor depending on the light intensity, with a maximum of 6 seconds. Actual integration time is stored with the data in each sample. The sensor output is saved on a PC with custom software which records 30 seconds of output data every 29:30 min. The number of samples collected in that period depends on the USSIMO integration time. The sensor is equipped with a pitch and roll sensor which is used to ensure that the spectroradiometer remains in the fixed position throughout the time-series acquisition. For re-use of the data, please refer to the dataset and the original publication. This is an aggregated dataset that combines the invidual datasets into a continous timeseries.

Abstract:
UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) established a light observatory at Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard, Norway) in January 2017. The observatory consists of a range of light sensors including an all sky camera. It is located outside the settlement of Ny-Ålesund, approximately 1 km N-NW of the airport towards Brandalspynten. The array of sensors, including the camera, is mounted on a tripod under a transparent dome. This dataset contains the E(PAR) data derived from pictures taken during 2017 at hourly intervals by the all-sky-camera. The camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark III) is equipped with a fish-eye lens with a focal length set to 8 mm with aperture manually set to open (f/4) to ensure maximum sensitivity (Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L), providing a 180° image of the atmosphere (only possible with a full-size sensor). Both shutter speed (exposure time, ranging from 0.000125 to 30 seconds) and ISO (sensitivity, ranging from 100 at Midnight Sun period and up to 6400 during Polar Night) are set to auto. White balance manually set to “day light”. It is remotely controlled by a PC, pictures were stored in a cloud storage. Short gaps in the time series are due to power failures. In this dataset there are two large gaps: 2019-01-09 to 2019-03-08 and 2019-06-24 to 2019-09-25 caused by a crash of the controlling PC which was not monitored at that time. The equations for the picture-to-E(PAR) conversion can be found in: Johnsen et al 2021, An all-sky camera system providing high temporal resolution annual time-series of irradiance in the Arctic, Applied Optics. The pictures on which this dataset is based on can be found at .

This dataset compiles Fatty Acid composition (relative proportions) of 4-day old Calanus hyperboreus nauplii from mothers collected in the Northern Barents Sea. Gravid Calanus hyperboreus females were collected from the Northern Barents Sea during the Q1 Nansen Legacy Seasonal Cruise in March 2021. After hatching, 4-day old Calanus hyperboreus nauplii were used for a short-term incubation assay (24h), exposing the nauplii to acidification (pH 8.01 and 7.50) and warming (0°C and 3°C), both individually and in combination. Nauplii larvae were added to each replicate at a density of ~0.6 larvae mL-1. The bottles were kept in the dark in incubators at the target temperature for 24 hours. After the incubation, all larvae from each treatment were extracted and checked for survival, and the remaining individuals were stored in Eppendorf tubes, freeze-dried, and kept at -80°C for lipid content analysis.
Quality
The lipid content and fatty acid compositions of the copepod nauplii obtained from the incubation assays were analysed at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany. To acquire sufficient sample material for the analysis, between 100 to 148 individual larvae were pooled per sample. Triplicate samples (except for Treatment 3, which had duplicates) were analysed for each treatment. Before lipid extraction, the samples were freeze-dried for 24 h at -80 °C and then mechanically homogenized using a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer. Total lipids were extracted by using a modified protocol from Folch et al., (1957), with dichloromethane/methanol (2:1, v/v), followed by cleaning with 0.88% potassium chloride solution. The extracted lipids were then transformed into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) and free fatty alcohols derived from wax esters by transesterification in methanol containing 3% concentrated sulfuric acid, at 80 °C for 4 h. The FAMEs and alcohols were separated via an Agilent 6890N Network gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies, USA) with a DB-FFAP capillary column (30 m, 0.25 mm I.D., 0.25 µm film thickness), equipped with a flame-ionization detector using a temperature program (160 to 240 °C). The samples were injected at 160 °C with helium as the carrier gas. The FAMEs were identified using standard mixtures, and the total lipid content was quantified as the sum of FAs and fatty alcohols using an internal standard (23:0) that was added prior to lipid extraction. The fatty acids are expressed in the nomenclature A:Bn-X, where A represents the number of carbon atoms, B the amount of double bonds, and X is the position of the first double bond starting from the methyl end of the carbon chain. The proportions of individual FAs are expressed as mass percentages of the total FA content.
The data has been collected during the Nansen Legacy Joint Cruise 2-2 from 24 August - 29 September 2021 on the research vessel RV Kronprins Haakon (cruise number 2021710), along a transect in the northern Barents Sea from 76N to 82N. The dataset contains abundance of pelagic marine protists, including phytoplankton (autotrophic) and protozooplankton (heterotrophic).

Quality
Gravid Calanus hyperboreus females were collected from the Northern Barents Sea during the Q1 Nansen Legacy Seasonal Cruise in March 2021. After hatching, 4-day old Calanus hyperboreus nauplii were used for a respiration assay, exposing the nauplii to acidification (pH 8.01 and 7.50) and warming (0°C and 3°C), both individually and in combination. The measurement of the metabolic rates took place by means of the loligo microplate system and took 12h. Subequently, the oxygent uptake rates were obtained by means of the RespR package in R (Rstudio) and were calculated into ng O2 per individual per hour. To our knowledge, this is the first dataset on naupliar oxygen uptake rates in a multiple stressor experimental design for Calanus hypeboreus from the Northern Barents Sea.

SEAPOP (SEAbird POPulations) is a long-term monitoring and mapping programme for Norwegian seabirds that was established in 2005. The programme represents a new initiative for these activities in Norway, Svalbard and adjacent sea areas, and will provide and maintain base-line knowledge of seabirds for an improved management of this marine environment. The data analyses aim to develop further models of seabird distribution and population dynamics using different environmental parameters, and to explore the degree of covariation across different sites and species. This knowledge is urgently needed to distinguish human influences from those caused by natural variation.

Abstract:
Anchoring and mooring conditions in some coastal areas with detailed data coverage, as interpreted from bottom type (hard or soft bottom) and depth. It is distinguished between anchoring and mooring conditions. In this context mooring means the possibility for divers to mount bolts into exposed bedrock (to fasten marine installations), usually at depths less than 30m. Anchoring conditions mean the anticipated relative hold of anchors in the substrate.
The dataset provides an overview of modern sedimentary environment and processes on the seabed in terms of deposition, transportation and erosion of sediments.
The data on this theme is based on the content of the grain size map. Regional mapping on Norwegian continental shelf by MAREANO.
