Abstract
Numerical modeling is performed for seafloor magnetotelluric sounding in a 2-D offshore zone in a period range of 0.25–16 h. An anomaly of the seafloor longitudinal impedance observed at distances of 20–260 km from the shore is analyzed. Dispersion relations are violated for the longitudinal impedance within the anomalous zone.
