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 and phrases embedded in quotation marks. Logical operators include AND, OR and NOT. Remember to add space around operators. Text strings that are not quoted are trated as separate words and will match any of the words (i.e. assuming the OR operator). E.g. in order to find WMO synoptic weather station data from Verlegenhuken use the search phrase: [synop AND verlegenhuken]. 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.
Collections
Collections allows the user to search in subsets of the existing catalogue. The collections are primarily data management projects that have been incorporated in the ADC catalogue after the project has ended. In this context the ADC is the long term access solution for these data. The collections currently served through ADC include (datasets may belong to multiple data collections):
ADC is the full collection of this service CC is the CryoClim collection
In order to search a specific data collection select that collection. If no data collection is selected all collections are searched.
AeN are data related to the Nansen Legacy project and are better explored through the SIOS Data Access Point using the collection defined there which is available through this URL.
SIOS, InfraNOR, SIOSCD, SIOSAP, SESS_* are collections related to SIOS. These are better explored through the SIOS Data Access Portal
Some cleaning is pending between InfraNOR and SIOSIN, for some of the SESS collections.
Citation of data and service
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)
The information required to properly cite a dataset is normally provided in the discovery metadata the datasets.
If you use data retrieved through this portal, please acknowledge the Norwegian Meteorological Institute/Arctic Data Centre.
The Japanese Ny-Alesund Observatory, which is cal1ed "Rabben" was established in April 1991 there. It is located at about 1.5 km north west from the center of Ny-Alesund. The latitude, longitude and altitude of the observatory are 78o55'N, 11o56'E and about 40 m, respectively. We developed an automatic system for meteorological data acquisition, because no permanent stuff stayed at the observatory throughout the year to maintain instruments. Their sensors were installed nearby Rabben. Ground based measurements of meteorological elements have been made continuously since August 16, 1992 at the observatory. This data report shows the data from January 1994 to October 1995. We have no data from November to December 1995.
The survey indices by age group for bottom trawl and acoustic estimates for haddock from the winter survey (January-March) in the Barents Sea are calculated as described in Mehl et al. 2016 (bottom trawl) and Mehl et al. 2018 (acoustic). Mean length and weight at age is also calculated. Updated data series are provided in the annual survey reports (e.g. Mehl et al. 2019). The series go back to 1981, but StoX estimates go back only to 1994. The survey has been a Joint Norwegian-Russian one from 2000 onwards except in the years 2006, 2007 and 2017.
The survey area is divided into eight main areas and 26 strata. In 2014, the investigated area was enlarged by three new strata in northwest, 24-26. These strata are, however, not included in the standard calculations of indices. Note also that prior to 1994, the area covered was smaller and no adjustments have been made for that. In the early period (1981-1995) there were also some gear changes, for which adjustments have been made, these changes are also described in the reports referred to.
In 1997, 1998 and 2007 only the Norwegian EEZ (NEZ) and parts of the Svalbard area (S) was covered. The indices for cod and haddock have therefore been raised to also represent the Russian EEZ (REZ) (Mehl et al. 2016, 2018).
In 2006, there was not a complete coverage in southeast due to restrictions. The observations in the partially covered strata 7 were extrapolated to the full strata, and the observations in the partially covered strata 13 were extrapolated to the same area as covered in 2005. In 2012 the coverage was incomplete in the eastern areas, and the cod and haddock swept area estimates within the covered area were raised by the “index ratio by age” observed for the same area in 2008-2011 (ICES 2012). The scaling factor (“index ratio”) for estimating adjusted total from <Total – area D’> was the average ratio by age for Total/(Total – area D’) in the years 2008-2011 (Aglen et al. 2012).
In 2017, the Norwegian vessel was not allowed to operate south of 70º 10’ N and west of 41º 00 º E, and no Russian vessel participated in the survey. Only a small part of strata 7 was covered, and strata 13, 15, 17 and 20 were not covered. The cod, haddock, Greenland halibut and beaked redfish swept area estimates and cod and haddock acoustic estimates within the covered area were raised following the same procedure as for 2012. The scaling factor for estimating adjusted total from <Total –strata 7 > was the average ratio by age for Total/(Total – (strata 7+13+15+17+20)) swept area indices in the years 2014-2016.
All these adjustments are included in the StoX projects used for the calculations.
The survey indices by carapace length group (mm) for bottom trawl for northern shrimp from the Shrimp survey in the Norwegian Deep and Skagerrak are calculated. Updated data series are provided in annual survey reports (e.g. Søvik et al. 2019). The survey data consist of: 1) a time series from 1984-2002 (October/November) using R/V Michael Sars; 2) a point estimate for 2003 (October) with R/V Håkon Mosby; 3) a time series from 2004-2005 (May/June) with R/V Håkon Mosby; and 4) a time series from 2006 until present (January/February), using R/V Håkon Mosby (2006-2016) and R/V Kristine Bonnevie (from 2017). The survey gear used is the Campelen trawl except on the 2003 survey when the Shrimp trawl 1420 was used, as winches on Håkon Mosby at that time were not powerful enough for the Campelen-trawl. There is therefore no StoX-estimate from 2003. The Campelen trawl is rigged with extra floats (“North Sea rigging”) to prevent mud hauls on soft bottom, as well as a small meshed inner net. This rigging is now standardized, but in former years the number of floats may have varied. The inner net was not used on the surveys in 2012-2014. In 2016, there were technical problems with the survey trawl (unequal wire lengths of the trawl gear). The StoX-estimate from 2016 is probably an underestimate and should not be used. The survey area is divided into nine strata and has a fixed station design. In 2006, it was decided that the 100 stations trawled during the 2000 survey should be considered fixed stations for future surveys. The station list has since been slightly changed (described in Søvik et al. 2019), resulting in a list of 111 fixed stations. Due to time restrictions, mainly due to bad weather, the survey area was not fully covered in some years and the number of stations trawled have varied between 61 and 111. For the first time series, this pertains to 1984, 1986, and 2002. For the most recent time series, this happened in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2015. It is mainly parts of the Norwegian Deep west of Lindesnes that has not been covered, except in 1984 when two strata in Skagerrak were not covered. The StoX-estimates have not been corrected for this lack of coverage.
The survey indices by age group for bottom trawl and acoustic estimates for cod from the winter survey (January-March) in the Barents Sea are calculated as described in Mehl et al. 2016 (bottom trawl) and Mehl et al. 2018 (acoustic). Mean length and weight at age is also calculated. Updated data series are provided in the annual survey reports (e.g. Mehl et al. 2019). The series go back to 1981, but StoX estimates go back only to 1994. The survey has been a Joint Norwegian-Russian one from 2000 onwards except in the years 2006, 2007 and 2017.

All these adjustments are included in the StoX projects used for the calculations.
