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.
XBT profiles of temperature and pressure, and XCTD profiles of temperature, salinity, and pressure, collected in the Fram Strait from KV Svalbard in July 2016. The data collection also include calculated sound speed profiles provided by the instrument manufacturer. There are a total of 150 profiles and 366117 observations.

Abstract:
Marine geological sampling points with associated information on grain size composition of sediments in the upper part (about 0-40cm) of seabed. Samples are obtained with grab or box corer and geological descriptions are based on visual observations of sediments.
The dataset includes data from an Argo float. The Argo float is mainly located in the deep water drifting with the currents there. With 5-10 day intervals, they rise from the depth to the surface while taken measurements during the ascent. The Argo float is equipped with sensors for measuring pressure, temperature, and salinity, and in some cases equipped with additional sensors for biogeochemical measurements. Data from the Argo float are sent, via satellites, to data centres, and are available to users within 24 hours.
Industrial recipient data collected in Glomfjord in the period 1983-2013. Sediment chemistry parameters: Cd, Cu, F, Hg, Korn<63µm, PAH, PAH, Pb, TOC, TOC63, Zn
MOTU (Molecular operational taxonomic unit) table and raw zooplankton count data accompanying the publication Ershova E.A., Wangensteen O.S. and Falkenhaug T. (2022) Mock samples resolve biases in diversity estimates and quantitative interpretation of zooplankton metabarcoding data. Marine Biodiversity. The dataset contains three files: one csv table with species measurements and counts, one csv table with MOTU counts and sequences, one csv table with sample information.
Probable Occurrences of Coral Mounds on The Norwegian Continental Shelf. The map service publishes six map layers, which show likely occurrences of coral reefs on the Norwegian continental shelf. The mapping is based on classification of high-resolution bathymetry data.
Data on temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorosence, oxygen consentration and turbidity collected at 4 m depth by NIVAs ferrybox installation under the regular cruises of "MS Nordbjørn"
Ambient sound was measured in Storfjorden, Svalbard at frequencies from 30 to 24000 Hz at depths from 4 to 20 meters. The measurements were carried out near land and melting ice bergs. The measurements were carried out using a drifting small boat, where the engine was turned off. Thereafter, a second small boat was used for transmitting pings at 11 kHz towards the first small boat at different depths and ranges. The experiment was carried out in June 2020 by Master students under supervision, as part of a research school in the Barents Sea with K/V Svalbard, organized under the UAK project lead by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre.

Abstract:
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. Detailed mapping in fjords and coastal areas.
The Macroplankton dataset in the IMR plankton database contains macroplankton from the Norwegian and Barents Seas. The dataset includes small vertically migratory fish.
