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:
In-house developed time-lapse cameras are installed along the coast of Isbjornhamna, on Ariekammen slopes and in front of the Hansbreen. Imagery is mainly used for calving observations, icebergs tracking and sea ice concentration monitoring. Only raw imagery is avilable.

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).
This dataset includes concentrations of Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) from the sea water, sea ice, melt pond water and brine. Samples were collected in August 2018 as part of cruise 2018707, JC1_2, in the northern Barents Sea as part of the Nansen Legacy project. Sea water was sampled at seven different stations using Niskin bottles attached to a rosette onboard R/V Kronprins Haakon. Samples from sea ice were collected at three stations (gear: Kovacs ice corer 9cm). A sample of the brine in the core holes was collected from one of these. Under-ice water (0.5m) were collected at two stations (gear: Go-Flo Water Sampler) from a hole in the ice. Samples from melt ponds were collected at four stations (five sites) using a bottle. All samples were collected on pre-combusted Whatman GF/F filters. For sea water we prepared duplicate subsamples (250-700 mL). For melted sea ice, melt pond water and brine where the volume of water was limited and/or the particle load high, the sample volume was reduced (150-500 mL) or occasionally limited to one sample. Filters were air dried and stored at room temperature until analysis on a Flash 2000 Organic Elemental Analyzer (Thermo Scientific). Presented are averaged POC values (in mg m-3). (PON data omitted due to inconsistent results). Standard errors were estimated according to Hozo et al 2005.
The Isfjorden-Adventfjorden (IsA) time series station is a marine station operated by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS). It is located in the mouth of Adventfjorden within Isfjorden on the west coast of Spitsbergen, and is frequently influenced by inflow of warm Atlantic Water from the West Spitsbergen Current. The station is therefore well suited for monitoring seasonal variability and ecosystem effects of climate change. IsA has been sampled on a monthly basis since December 2011. This dataset represents the acid-corrected Chl a values from several depths

This product contains ice edge coordinates for the Nordic Seas from 1750 through 2002 for months March through August.
Ice edge in this product is defined as the outer boundary of ice having at least 30% ice concentration. Data are derived from publicly available sea ice products and use observational data from ship logbooks, diaries and other sources in addition to more recent satellite data products from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I).
The data are distributed via FTP in ASCII, JPEG, and shapefile format.

Abstract:
These data include time series of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, horizontal currents, collected at the oceanographic mooring named S1, located at 76° N, 013° E, and 1000 m depth. The Entire dataset span a time interval from June 2014 until July 2018. However, this contribution to the SESS report 2019 contains time series from June 2016 to July 2018, which integrate those (2014-2016) presented in the first issue of the SESS report released on January 2019 (Bensi et al. 2019b, https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue1).
The first 2 years of data (June 2014- June 2016), referred to moorings S1 (76°N) and ID2 (78°N), are available at the following link:

This is a collection of observations from several moored buoys in the Norwegian archipelago and fjords. The buoys measure wind and waves as well as currents, temperature and salinity at several depths in Halsafjord, Sulafjord and Vartdalsfjord and at an offshore location (winter 2019/2020). Both high-frequency recordings of 0,5 - 2 Hz and 10 - 20 minute mean values are provided. The data collection is co-located with the data collection Meteorological Observations in tall masts for the Coastal Highway E39 project in Mid-Norway ( https://adc.met.no/datasets/10.21343/z9n1-qw63 ). The first buoys were deployed October 2016 and the campaign will continue until at least 2024. The dataset is publicly available.
