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.
Datasets from Paulsen et al. (in prep) Emergent patterns between NDVI and plant biomass, summer temperature and tundra disturbance in a new time series from the high Arctic. Arctic Science. The datasets are part of the larger COAT vegetation monitoring in Svalbard (P.I. Virve Ravolainen).
Two datasets with biomass, summer temperature and disturbance, NDVI from drone and Sentinel-2 in plots (plot-level, 0.5 x 0.5 m) and within monitoring sites (site-level, 30 m diameter circle).
- loc/locality: Location of monitoring sites (adv=Adventdalen, bro=Brøggerhalvøya, sas=Sassendalen)
- site_id: the unique id of each monitoring site
- plot_id: the unique id of each plot within each monitoring site
- habitat: dry = dryas ridge habitat , mos = moss tundra habitat
- Drone NDVI (10 cm spatial resolution, NDVI captured with sequoia camera on fixed-wing eBeex drone)
- Sentinel-2 NDVI (10 m spatial resolution, Sentinel-2 L2A)
- Total biomass (total_biomass): total vascular plant biomass of main plant groups and species in grams per square meter
- Growing degree days (GDD): accumulated temperature above 1 degree C until ground sampling day for that monitoring site.
- Winter damage (winter_damage): Recordings of winter-damaged shrubs in plots on a scale from 1-8 (or mean per site).
- Biotic crust (biotic_crust): Recordings of biotic crust in plots on a scale from 1-12 (or mean per site).
- Goose grubbing (light_grubbing, severe_grubbing): Recordings of presence or absence of goose disturbance in plots (0=no goose grubbing, 1=light goose grubbing, 2=severe goose grubbing). On site-level it is the total number of plots for each category.
The data set presents various metadata/general details on sea ice stations of five Nansen Legacy cruises (JC1-2, Q1, Q2, JC2-2 and JC3) conducted during 2018-2022 with the Norwegian ice-going research vessel Kronprins Haakon (KPH) to the northern Barents Sea, area north of Svalbard and further into the central Arctic, namely Nansen and Amundsen basins. During the on-ice work on these cruises, the information associated with organization of sea ice stations was logged. This dataset includes miscellaneous sea ice stations – specific information and documentation such as ice station reports and on-site notes, station maps and plans, photos, data on sea-ice drift during the on-ice work as well as any other materials found relevant for documenting the event. This information is potentially important as supporting for any further interpretation of results from various multidisciplinary activities conducted during the sea ice station work on these cruises. For more details on the dataset and its structure please see the attached dataset overview file NL_ice_stations_dataset_metadata.pdf
The Climate Change Tower Integrated Project (CCT-IP) represents the guide lines of the italian research in the arctic and aims to study the interaction between all the components of the climate system in the Arctic. The Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (CCT) is the key infrastructure of the project, and provides continuous acquisition of the atmospheric parameters at different heights as well as at the interface between the surface and the atmosphere.
30 minutes average (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of meteorological data are available for the download.
Data at resolution of 1 minute are available for online visualization and downloadable under request.
