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:
Output data from HARMONIE AROME - Wave Wacth III Coupling Experiment. This file contains output variables from the Atmosphere model(HARMONIE-AROME) for the fully coupled experiment.
Ocean microstructure data were collected using a turbulence package mounted on a
light autonomous underwater vehicle (LAUV) during a cruise in February 2021,
to study ocean mixing processes near a surface temperature front in the Barents Sea.
The cruise onboard R/V Kronprins Haakon (KH2021702) was part of the Nansen Legacy
project, funded by the Research Council of Norway.
Turbulence data were collected using a modified version of a Rockland Scientific MicroRider
mounted on the LAUV. Dissipation rate was measured using two airfoil shear probes.
The measurements are from a 5 hour mission from 3 horizontal transects at target
depths of 10, 20 and 30 m.
The dataset is processed and prepared following the SCOR Working Group ATOMIX guidelines
and recommendations. The provided file includes four levels: the continuous time series of
full resolution data converted into physical units; the cleaned time series used for spectral
analysis, wavenumber spectra and the dissipation rate estimates. Additional data from the
LAUV with flight kinematics, location, temperature and salinity are also included.
Further details are provided in the comments.
The cruise addressed objectives of the work package Physical drivers (Research Focus 1), focusing on ocean mixing and water transformation process studies in the region east of Svalbard, with particular focus on the Barents Sea Polar Front region. These data are created from the CTD data published by NMDC for the whole cruise (https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-1643304797). The values have not be changed.
The Nansen Legacy cruise Q4 (Q4: 4th quarter of the year) was the second of in total four seasonal cruises to the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin. The cruise focused on comparing the state of the physical, chemical and biological conditions along the Nansen Legacy main transect in open waters and within the sea ice, addressing objectives of the work packages Physical drivers (Research Foci 1), Human impact (Research Foci2), The living Barents Sea (Research Foci 3), and Technology and method development (Research Activity C). These data are created from the CTD data published by NMDC for the whole cruise (https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-301551919). The values have not be changed.
The cruise was a joint campaign of the Nansen Legacy and A-TWAIN/SIOS-InfraNor projects. Within the Nansen Legacy, the cruise contributed primarily to the work package Physical Drivers (Research Foci 1) but also to Research Foci 2 and 3. The main objective of the cruise was the recovery and deployment of the projects moorings in the Barents Sea and north of Svalbard. These data are created from the CTD data published by NMDC for the whole cruise (https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-2135074338). The values have not be changed.
The Joint Cruise 2-1 addressed objectives of the work packages Physical drivers (Research Foci 1), Human impact (Research Foci 2) and The living Barents Sea (Research Foci 3) along the Nansen Legacy transect in open water and within the sea ice. The cruise focussed on comparing the state of the physical, chemical and biological conditions in the southern and northern parts of the study area. These data are created from the CTD data published by NMDC for the whole cruise (https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-2085836005). The values have not be changed.
This dataset is a collection of bacterial production measurements (rate of production of biomass expressed as carbon by prokaryotes [bacteria and archaea]) taken as part of the Nansen Legacy project (www.arvenetternansen.com), as part of the '2021 Joint Cruise 2-2' cruise (2021710). The data are collected from CTD with Niskin bottles, meltpond data collected with a bucket, and sea ice core samples collected with a Kovacs 9 cm ice corer from station P8 (NLEG29) taken on 2021-09-02T09:06:07.83Z at 83.832435450N and 24.946595850E.

This dataset is a collection of the acid-corrected chlorophyll A and phaeopigments measurements taken as part of the Nansen Legacy project (www.arvenetternansen.com), as part of the '2021 Joint Cruise 2-2' cruise. The data are collected from CTD with Niskin bottles from station P10 (NLEG36) taken on 2021-09-12T07:00:34.794Z at -16.6742277°E and 86.39340965°N. Both total Chlorophyll A and collected after passing through a 10µm filter are enclosed if available.
The main scientific goal of the Nansen Legacy Joint Cruise 2-2 (JC2-2) was to extend the research activities from the northern Barents Sea shelf into the central Arctic Ocean. Specifically, JC2-2 addressed objectives of the work packages ‘Physical drivers’ (Research Foci 1), ‘Human impact’ (Research Foci 2) and ‘The living Barents Sea’ (Research Foci 3) by jointly collecting interdisciplinary samples and data.
