Abstract
The Significant Wave Height (90th percentile) was calculated by means of the SWAN model run operationally by the Hydro-Meteorological Service of the Regional Environment Protection Agency of Emilia-Romagna, and mapped in order to be used as criterion within the Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation process for the aquaculture suitability evaluation.vided

Supplemental Information
The Significant Wave Height (SWH) dataset was produced by the Hydro-Meteorological Service of the Regional Environment Protection Agency of Emilia-Romagna, at a spatial resolution of 1km2. This model is implemented on a regular grid (1 km × 1 km), combining data derived from the WAM (Wave Model), WaveWatch III and SWAN model itself. Hourly data, from 2006 to 2016, were used to estimate the 90th percentile for the SWH, computed for each grid point of the SMCE domain. The Significant Wave Height criterion, within Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation process for the aquaculture suitability evaluation, represent an indicator of farm exposure to storm events.
