Oceans form Space V Symposium, 24-28 october 2022, Venice, Italy.-- 2 pages, 2 figures, Accurate high and extreme sea surface wind observations are essential for meteorological, ocean, and climate applications. A method to inter-calibrate spaceborne scatterometer and radiometer derived high and extreme winds using NOAA hurricane “hunter” data is presented. The proposed method is effective, providing highly consistent satellite-derived extreme wind datasets in the period 2009-2020. Further work is needed though to consolidate an in-situ reference for extreme wind calibration purposes, This work was supported in part by the MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 through the Project INTERACT under Grant PID2020-114623RB-C31, and in part by the European Space Agency (ESA) through the OCEAN+EXTREMES Marine Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) Project under Contract 4000132954/20/I-NB
