The Arctic Ocean Observation Operator (ARC3O) computes brightness temperatures at 6.9 GHz, vertical polarization, based on climate model output. More information about the motivation, structure and evaluation can be found in Burgard et al., 2020a and Burgard et al., 2020b.
Currently, it is customized for output of the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model but can be used for other models if the variable names are changed accordingly in the ARC3O functions.

The detailed description and evaluation of ARC3O is found in Burgard et al., 2020b and should therefore, when used, be cited as follows:
