The Marine Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) project is an ESA Expro+ project
The primary objective of the Marine Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) project is to provide guidance and innovative methodologies to maximize the synergetic use of available Earth Observation data (satellite, in situ) to improve understanding about the multi-scale dynamical characteristics of extreme air-sea interaction.
ESA project number: MAXSS 4000132954/20/I-NB
The primary objective of the MAXSS project is
to provide guidance and innovative methodologies to maximise the synergetic use of available Earth Observation data (satellite, in situ) in order to improve understanding about the multi-scale dynamical characteristics of extreme air-sea interaction.
MAXSS is an ESA scientific project running effectively from Jan 2020 to jan 2023.
MAXSS will provide guidance and innovative methodologies to maximise the synergetic use of available Earth Observation data to improve the understanding of the multi-scale dynamical characteristics of extreme air-sea interaction.
In MAXSS three developments are conducted:
The focus is on the 2010-2020 decade. The developed products will be validated and within MAXSS they will be used in 4 case studies:
The developed products will be presented and shared with the scientific, operational and application (industry) user communities.

In response to the primary objective of the project, to maximize the synergetic use and advance the scientific understanding of various Earth Observation data in order to improve the observation and characterisation of extreme wind events (ref SoW), a very wide consortium has been build integrating internationally acknowledged partners from the European Earth Observation and MetOcean science communities, all providing complementary expertise. The consortium, consists of scientists and engineers of the following entities:
