We investigate some aspects of the physics of wave propagation at the ocean bottom (ranging from soft sediments to crustal rocks). Most of the phenomena are associated to the presence of attenuation. The analysis requires the use of an anelastic stress‐strain relation and a highly accurate modeling algorithm. Special attention is given to modeling the boundary conditions at the ocean‐bottom interface and the related physical phenomena. For this purpose, we further develop and test the pseudospectral modeling algorithm for wave propagation at fluid‐anelastic solid interfaces. The method is based on a domain‐decomposition technique (one grid for the fluid part and another grid for the solid part) and the Fourier and Chebyshev differential operators. We consider the reflection, transmission, and propagation of seismic waves at the ocean bottom, modeled as a plane boundary separating an acoustic medium (ocean) and a viscoelastic solid (sediment). The main physical phenomena associated with this interface are ...
