The work of Chotiros [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 199–214 (1995)] has stimulated renewed interest in detecting the Biot type II (slow) P wave for the purpose of ocean bottom characterization. Chotiros postulates that total internal reflection of the type I (fast) P wave can occur at a water–sediment interface and that the observed refracted energy below the critical angle is associated with the type II (slow) P wave. The choice of parameters used in the Biot theory to model these observations is discussed. Two major differences between the parameter set proposed by Chotiros and previous parameter sets for sandy sediments exist. First, the value for the unjacketed bulk modulus, Kr, is about five times less than the bulk modulus for quartz crystals, which is commonly used. This value is obtained by equating it to a value of effective grain modulus measured by Molis and Chotiros [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 2483(A) (1992)]. Second, the value for the frame bulk modulus, Kb, obtained by fitting to measured values of t...
