The core partner data centres that are integrated in NorDataNet are listed in https://www.nordatanet.no/en/node/69. In addition to this NorDataNet harvests information on relevant datasets from a number of other data centres. The data centre responsible for the data presented is usually (but not always) listed in the discovery metadata. In essence NorDataNet is an aggregating service that combines information from a number of existing data centres.
Citation of data and service
If you use data retrieved through this portal, please acknowledge our funding source:
Research Council of Norway, project number 245967/F50, Norwegian Scientific Data Network.
Always remember to cite data when used!
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)
All partner repositories of NorDataNet support Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), but not all datasets are minted. Whether or not minted depends often on source of the data (e.g. operational data are often yet not minted). However, all data centres support persistent identifiers according to local systems. The information required to properly cite a dataset is normally provided in the discovery metadata the datasets.
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 identified in the drop down menu with and phrases embedded in quotation marks. Prefixing a phrase with '-' negates the phrase (i.e. should not occur in the results). Searches are case insensitive.
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 combination of search fields (including facets) is based on a logical "AND" combination of the fields, i.e. all conditions are fulfilled for the results provided.

Abstract:
The files contain data from NCAR GPS dropsondes AVAPS (Airborne Vertical
Atmospheric Profiling System), taken during the Norwegian IPY-THORPEX field
campaign from 25 February to 17 March 2008. A description of AVAPS is given
in: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/isf/facilities/dropsonde/ The data has been
post-processed and quality controlled with the Atmospheric Sounding Processing
Environment (ASPEN). For more information, see:
http://www.eol.ucar.edu/isf/facilities/software/aspen/aspen.html
During the
campaign period the DLR Falcon 20 was stationed at Andenes airport in Norway and
used for flight missions for the study of adverse weather in the Arctic region.
The field campaign had a particular focus on polar lows. Two such events was
measured during the campaign period, 3-4 March and 17 March. The 3-4 March case
was measured by 3 flight missions, documenting the full life cycle of a polar
low. The IPY-THORPEX project is described in: http://www.ipy-thorpex.no. A

Abstract:
Arctic Ocean Experiment 2001 AOE-2001 was an icebreaker based field experiment
with a target on the formation of low clouds in the central Arctic summer during
July and August 2001. A main portion of the 2-moth experiment was a 3-week ice
drift from 89 to 88 degN. Main components of the meteorology part of the
experiment were surface-based remote- sensing observations, general meteorology
observations (weather staion and soundings) and boundary-layer observations on
the ice. For a complete review of the experiment and a full list of instruments,
see Tjernström et al. 2004 ("The summertime Arctic atmosphere: Meteorological
measurements during the Arctic Ocean Experiment (AOE-2001)" in Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society, 85, 1305 - 1321, and its on-line supplement
"Experimental equipment: A supplement to The summertime Arctic atmosphere:
Meteorological measurements during the Arctic Ocean Experiment (AOE-2001)").
Observations included in the dataset:
Observations from 2D-wind sonic anemometer on the mast of Oden during AOE-2001. Beware of flow distortion from the ship.
One-hour averaged cloud base observations from cloud base lidar and cloud radar during AOE-2001
Instant cloud-top observations from S-band cloud radar operating in two modes, a low-range high-resolution and a high-range low-resolution mode, respectively, obtained during AOE-2001. The presented data is the highest cloud top altitude observed.
Various meteorological observations from a mast placed on an ice-floe during AOE-2001

Abstract:
Under the Developing Arctic Modeling and Observing Capabilities for Long-term Environmental Studies (DAMOCLES) project, an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and a Microcat were deployed at the sill separating the Storfjorden in Svalbard Archipelago and Storfjordrenna north of Storfjordbanken on the Barents Sea shelf. Storfjorden, through its polynya activity, produces highly saline water near the freezing temperature which fills the fjord to the sill level (115 m) and initiates a gravity driven overflow. A self-contained 307.2 KHz broadband Workhorse, Sentinel, RD Instruments ADCP and a Sea-Bird SBE37SM Microcat (S/N 4011), temperature-conductivity-pressure recording unit was deployed at 76deg 58.08min N, 19deg 14.95min E at the 111 m isobath on 12 december 2005. The instruments were recovered on 9 August 2006. The instruments are installed in an aluminum trawl-proof frame, attached to a concrete block of 2.5x2.5x0.37 m dimensions. The ADCP sampled at 4-m depth cell size, averaging data (33 pings per ensemble) at 10 min intervals. The first cell was centered at about 6 meter above seafloor. The Microcat sampled at 10min intervals. This dataset consists of hourly averaged vertical profiles of current velocities as well as ADCP-temperature and Microcat-temperature/salinity/pressure at the instrument depth.

Abstract:
Data from aircraft observations during two flights of the aircraft campaign
ARTIST (Arctic Radiation and Turbulence Interaction Study) caried out by AWI
1998. The first set of delivered files contain data from on-ice flow over the
Fram Strait (26 March 1998) including profiles of radiation fluxes in stratus
clouds over a region with closed pack ice. The second set of delivered files
contain data from a day with clod-air advection over the Barents Sea covered
with sea ice. The cold-air advection causes slight unstable stratification over
sea ice. A detailed description of both data sets is given in the Damocles
Deliverable Report D2.3-01 by Lüpkes and Hartmann (2007). The case with cold-air
advectiob is described also in Vihma et al. (2005, BLM, 117(2), 275-300)
