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
Outline of the data portal search interface.
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 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:
Wave observations from a buoy located in Isfjorden at Svalbard. This dataset contains several sub datasets representing different variables and time periods.
Institutions: UiT The Arctic University of Norway, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Norwegain Infrastructure for Research Data (NIRD)
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).

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:
