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:
UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) established a light observatory at Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard, Norway) in January 2017. The observatory consists of an array of light sensors including an all sky camera. It is located outside the settlement of Ny-Ålesund, approximately 1 km N-NW of the airport towards Brandalspynten. The array of sensors is mounted on a tripod under a transparent dome. This dataset contains the data of the hyperspectral radiometer USSIMO (In-situ Marine Optics, Perth, WA, Australia), converted to E(PAR) by the following equation: PAR is approximated as an integral of micromolespersec=(uirr/(h*c/(lambda*1e-9)))/microavo for wavelengths(lambda) in range from 400 to 700nm, where: uirr = USSIMO irradiance for wavelength equal to lambda, h=6.63e-34 [Js], c=3.00e+08 [m/s], microavo=6.022e17. The sensor is equipped with a Zeiss MMS1 UV-VIS NIR detector with National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA traceable radiometric calibration between 380 and 900 nm. This instrument is used for time-series measurement of down-welling spectral irradiance in energy Wm-2 nm-1. Spectral resolution is 10 nm (3.3 nm pixel spacing) and a cosine-corrected polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) light diffusor with cosine error: <3% (0 - 60°), <10% (60 - 87.5°), is fitted. The device acquired measurements with a 16 bit analogue to digital converter. It samples continuously internally. Integration time is controlled by the sensor depending on the light intensity, with a maximum of 6 seconds. Actual integration time is stored with the data in each sample. The sensor output is saved on a PC with custom software which records 30 seconds of output data every 29:30 min. The number of samples collected in that period depends on the USSIMO integration time. The sensor is equipped with a pitch and roll sensor which is used to ensure that the spectroradiometer remains in the fixed position throughout the time-series acquisition. For re-use of the data, please refer to the dataset and the original publication. This is an aggregated dataset that combines the invidual datasets into a continous timeseries.
