The Italian Sea WAve monitoring Network (SWAN) is a network of 10 buoys moored all round the coasts of Italy (Arena et al., 1997). It has been working since June 1989 (Archetti and Franco, 1995) with the original 8 stations of Alghero, La Spezia, Ponza, Mazara, Catania, Monopoli, and Ortona. Two stations, Cetraro and Ancona, have been added since 1999. The buoy network SWAN has been appointed by the italian Agency for Environmental Protection and Technical Services (APAT ) and has been the first real-time updated Network in the Mediterranean sea. The Italian Tide gauge Network Rete Mareografica Nazionale, operated by the Agency for Environmental Protection and Technical Services APAT, includes 26 new survey stations uniformly distributed across the Italian territory and located mainly within the harbours of Trieste, Venezia Lido, Ancona, Ravenna, Pescara, Ortona, Isole Tremiti, Vieste, Bari, Otranto, Taranto, Crotone, Reggio Calabria, Messina, Catania, Porto Empedocle, Lampedusa, Palermo, Palinuro, Salerno, Napoli, Cagliari, Carloforte, Porto Torres, Civitavecchia, Livorno, Genova and Imperia.

Abstract
The Italian Sea WAve monitoring Network (SWAN) is a network of 10 buoys moored all round the coasts of Italy (Arena et al., 1997). It has been working since June 1989 (Archetti and Franco, 1995) with the original 8 stations of Alghero, La Spezia, Ponza, Mazara, Catania, Monopoli, and Ortona. Two stations, Cetraro and Ancona, have been added since 1999. The buoy network SWAN has been appointed by the italian Agency for Environmental Protection and Technical Services (APAT ) and has been the first real-time updated Network in the Mediterranean sea. The Italian Tide gauge Network Rete Mareografica Nazionale, operated by the Agency for Environmental Protection and Technical Services APAT, includes 26 new survey stations uniformly distributed across the Italian territory and located mainly within the harbours of Trieste, Venezia Lido, Ancona, Ravenna, Pescara, Ortona, Isole Tremiti, Vieste, Bari, Otranto, Taranto, Crotone, Reggio Calabria, Messina, Catania, Porto Empedocle, Lampedusa, Palermo, Palinuro, Salerno, Napoli, Cagliari, Carloforte, Porto Torres, Civitavecchia, Livorno, Genova and Imperia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
