Abstract
In off-shore seismic exploration, the waves transmitted at the ocean bottom have a particular characteristic. Assuming that water is lossless, their attenuation vectors are perpendicular to the ocean bottom interface. This fact affects the AVO of reflection events generated at the lower layers.
