Contents: Sasebo and Oomura Bays situated in the northwest of Kyushu, Japan form a coupled bay linked by a channel. The tidal flow in and between these bays is visualized by the satellite images and the dispersion of Lagrangian particles is numerically studied. The satellite images are available to visualize the tidal flow at the mouth of Hario-seto from the maximum flood tide to the end of ebb tide at Tainoura. The seawater plume from the mouth of Hario-seto goes southeastward and then rotates anti-clockwise. The time of one rotation is about 6 to 7 periods. The plume extends about 10 km from the mouth of Hario-seto. Lagrangian particles in Sasebo Bay also flow into Oomura Bay through Haiki-seto.
