Abstract
The tidal volume transport in the Seto Inland Sea is calculated. The cross-section where the volume transport of the M2 tide is zero, is located around the western part of Bisan Strait. The tidal energy dissipation of the M2 tide by friction is 6.30×1016 ergs s−1 in the Seto Inland Sea. The quality factorQ for the M2 tide is 20.2. The total energy dissipation of the M2, S2, K1 and O1 tides is 7.99×1016 ergs s−1.
