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.

Helicopter-borne electromagnetic induction sounding (HEM) sea ice thickness measurements made in the Barents Sea region in March 2014. A total of 8 separate flights were conducted during this campaign. The thickness produced by this sensor is ‘total thickness’, that is ice + snow, but is normally referred to as ‘sea-ice thickness’.
This work was supported by the European Space Agency SMOSice project (ESA contract 4000110477/14/NL/FF/lf). We would like to thank the crews of Airlift helicopter and RV Lance for their assistance with the collection of this dataset.
We report on a pilot study using a CO2 optode deployed on a Seaglider in the Norwegian Sea for 8 months (March to October 2014). The optode measurements required drift- and lag-correction, and in situ calibration using discrete water samples collected in the vicinity. We found the optode signal correlated better with the concentration of CO2, c(CO2), than with its partial pressure, p(CO2). Using the calibrated c(CO2) and a regional parameterisation of total alkalinity (AT) as a function of temperature and salinity, we calculated total dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations, CT, which had a standard deviation of 10 µmol kg-1 compared with direct CT measurements. The glider was also equipped with an oxygen (O2) optode. The O2 optode was drift-corrected and calibrated using a c(O2) climatology for deep samples (R2 = 0.89; RMSE = 0.009 µmol kg-1). The survey area was a source of O2 and a sink of CO2 for most of the summer. The deployment captured two different surface waters: the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) and the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC). The NCC was characterised by lower c(O2) and CT than the NwAC, as well as lower N(O2), N(CT) and craw(Chl a). Our results show the potential of glider data to simultaneously capture time and depth-resolved variability in CT and O2.

Abstract:
Carbon flow dynamics in northern forest ecosystems were examined in middle part of Finland. Fine root production was estimated in three types of stands; Picea abies stands, Betula pendula stands, and mixed stands of these two species. Comparative estimation of four methods were conducted in the field experiments.
This data set contains ocean temperature, salinity, and wave data collected during a research initiative with the goal of understanding the physics that control sea ice breakup and melt in and around the sea ice edge. It was conducted by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) Marginal Ice Zone Departmental Research Initiative (DRI) program to better understand the atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions that are taking place as ice in the Beaufort Sea retreats in summer and a seasonal marginal ice zone (MIZ) evolves. The field program took place in the summer of 2014.
