The SIOS Data Management Service integrates information from SIOS partner data repositories into a unified virtual data centre, the SIOS Data Access Portal, allowing users to search for and access data regardless of where they are archived. Providers and users have to commit to the SIOS data policy. The current focus is on discovery through standardised metadata, and retrieval, visualisation & transformation of data. Ultimately, the Data Management Service works towards integration of datasets which requires a high level of interoperability at the data level. If you use data retrieved through this portal, please acknowledge our funding source: Research Council of Norway, project number 291644, Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System – Knowledge Centre, operational phase.
Always remember to cite data when used!

Abstract:
Five sites (k1,k2,k3,k4,k5) were set in Kongsfjorden in July 2007. Water samples were collected in different layers as 0m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m,30m,50m,75m,100m,150m and 200m.Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate and silicate were analysed using nutrient autoanalyzer.

Abstract:
50 surface sediment samples were taken during the fourth and fifth Chinese national Arctic research expedition in 2007,2008. Grain size analysis was conducted by the Laser particle size analyzers and Sieves methods. Surface sediments of Kongsfjorden are mainly composed of silt, gravel, silty sand and clay. Different kinds of marine-glacial sediment appear in different areas of Kongsfjorden due to different environments, indicating the polar-specific mode of deposition.
