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 mooring F0 was in operation at 78.833 deg N in the Fram Strait between 2007-09-11 and 2009-09-11, measuring current and hydrographic properties at the shelf break (224 m water depth). The mooring was retrieved and redeployed between 2008-09-11 and 2008-09-14. The child datasets represents different instrumentation at different levels in the mooring.

Abstract:
The ARKXXIV/1 cruise of the German icebreaker Polarstern took place from 20 June to 10 July 2009 and was focused on oceanographic investigations in the northern Nordic Sea. The main work sites were Fram Strait between Svalbard and Greenland and in the Greenland Sea. Hydrographic mesurements during the cruise included the standard section in the nothern Fram Strait along 78°50N, which has been occupied regularly since 1997 (27 stations)

Abstract:
This data was collected as part of an international joint effort during IPY to conduct a quasi-synotpic Pan-Arctic survey. During this cruise (ARK-XXIII/3), the work of the previous year (ARK-XXII/2) was extended toward the East-Siberian regions with a CTD transect in the southern parts of the basins from the Canadian Basin to the Nansen-Gakkel Ridge

Abstract:
CTD temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and light transmission at 191 stations in the Arctic Ocean
Hydrographic and current time series data from inside the southern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 16 September 2005 to 15 September 2006 at 78°08.300’ N; 014°25.030’ E, and 220 m depth. The mooring was deployed by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) as a part of the AGF course “Polar Ocean Climate” to monitor inflow of Atlantic Water to Isfjorden, and was equipped with two Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the intermediate and bottom layer. For further details of the mooring and data, see Skogseth et al. (2020).

Quality
Pressure, temperature and salinity data have been despiked with a window size of 60 and a standard deviation of 2. Temperature and salinity data have been calibrated against nearby SBE 911+ CTD profiles taken during the deployment period. No pressure and salinity on lower sensor.
Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiles from Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) cruise FS2015 to the Fram Strait including auxiliary sensors. Fram Strait cruises are repeated annually, and a new data set is published for each cruise.
Please refer to the FS2015 cruise report for full information. Profiles were collected with a SBE911+ CTD system deployed over the side of research vessel Lance. Temperature profiles were measured using dual SBE 03 temperature sensors. Conductivity profiles were measured using dual SBE 04 conductivity sensors. Salinity profiles were calculated from temperature and salinity profiles. CDOM was measured using a WETLabs CDOM fluorometer (single sensor).
Profile data is from down casts only and made available in 1 decibar bins. Spurious data collected during the surface soak were removed before binning.
Data are made available as a single, self-documented netCDF file. Profile data are organised in tables with one column per cast and one row per depth bin. 1-dimensional metadata (such as time and position) are organised as a single row with one column per cast. All variables have the same number of columns, equal to the total number of CTD casts.
Hydrographic and current time series data from outside the southern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 9 September 2010 to 3 September 2011 at 78°03.502’ N; 013°35.609’ E, and 205 m depth. The mooring was deployed by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) as a part of the AGF course “Polar Ocean Climate” to monitor inflow of Atlantic Water to Isfjorden, and was equipped with three Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper, the intermediate, and the bottom layer. Additionally, three SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs and five VEMCO mini temperature loggers were evenly distributed over the water column. For further details of the mooring and data, see Skogseth et al. (2020).
