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 by changing the operators used in the text field and prefixing words with '+' and '-' to indicate whether they have to be present or should not be present in the results.
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.

Abstract:
At the Hornsund meteorological site snow depth has been measured at the same points by the Station’s overwintering crew since August 1982. Snow depth is calculated from a mean of three snow stakes to avoid the effects of the drifting snow. Measurements are taken manualy, on a daily basis.
A consistent long-term dataset from the Arctic meteorological site the Polish Polar Station Hornsund, located in the SW part of Spitsbergen. The temperature of water in the Isbjornhamna bay is measured by observers near the shore.

Abstract:
A set of inter calibrated salinity in-depth profiles in Hornsund Fjord.We used all of our CTD sensors (Valeport: 1 CTD; RBR: 3 CTD, 2TD, 6 T; SeaBird 1CT; SAIV A/S: 1 CTD), at the same time in a stable position at stable depths for 24 hours measurement. SAIV A/S conductivity data was different from the rest. Because for CTD in-depth profile Valeport and SAIV A/S were used we made comparable CTD in-depths profiles for these two CTD sensors. Based on comparison plots for temperature and conductivity from the same depths for all comparable in-depth profiles for these two sensors we add linear correction for temperature and conductivity data from SAIV A/S. After losing SAIV A/S sensor we made the same procedure for the new. Depth (UNESCO Technical Papers in Marine Science No. 44), salinity (UNESCO 1983), density (Millero and Poisson 1981, UNESCO 1981) were calculated based on a commonly used formula from pressure, temperature, and conductivity after data inter-calibration.

Abstract:
Dataset is comprised of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data from sediments from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 382, Site U1534, South Falkland Sediment Drift, 53.18967 S, 58.76083 W (605 m water depth).
The sediment cores were collected from 3 holes using the advanced piston corer onboard RV Joides Resolution from site U1534 between 29/03/2019 and 02/04/2019. XRF data was collected using the XRF Core Scanner III (AVAATECH Serial No. 12) at the XRF Core Scanner Lab at the MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany), March-May 2021.
The data were collected as part of a project aiming to investigate the sensitivity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to variability in Pacific-Atlantic connectivity via the ''cold water route''. Dr Victoria Louise Peck was the principle investigator for this project.

Abstract:
The number of Fur and Elephant seals around the base on Signy Island have been counted daily between January and March since 1992. Details of the area counted are given in the 1992 Seal Mammal report (AD6/2H/1992/NM3).

Abstract:
Digital seismic reflection data collected during the RABID project in the 2004-2005 field season, using a BISON 9024 seismograph. The seismic survey was carried out ~40km upstream from the grounding line of Rutford Ice Stream, and repeated relevant sections of a 1991 and 1997 survey. Data was collected using 24 channels arranged at 10m spacing. The survey geometry produced four single fold lines with 5 m reflection-point spacing at the bed. The first seismic line (Tyree04 Line) was orientated across the ice stream, the other three (Mogensen Line, Tolly Line and Rabid Line) were in line with the ice flow and intersected the first line at different locations.
The RABID project employed hot-water drilling techniques, down-hole instrumentation, as well as surface geophysical measurements, to form an integrated programme studying ice dynamics, basal conditions, climate and glacial history.
