A spherical harmonic decomposition of the p-modes into inward and outward propagating waves is employed to investigate the absorption of solar p-modes by an isolated sunspot. The absorption coefficient (averaged over frequency and azimuthal order) is found to increase with increasing horizontal wavenumber k over the range 0-0.8/Mm. For larger horizontal wavenumbers, in the range 0.8-1.5/Mm, the absorption coefficient decreases with increasing k. The absorption along each individual p-mode ridge tends to peak at an intermediate value of the spherical harmonic degree in the range 200-400. The highest absorption is found along the p(1) ridge, and the absorption decreases with increasing radial order.
