Abstrakt: We study the anelastic properties (attenuation and velocity dispersion) of surface waves at an interface between a finite water layer and a porous medium described by Biot theory including the frequency-dependent effects due to mesoscopic flow. A closed-form dispersion equation is derived, based on potential functions and open and sealed boundary conditions (BC) at the interface. The analysis indicates the existence of high-order surface modes for both BCs and a slow true surface mode only for sealed BC. The formulation reduces to two particular cases in the absence of water and with infinite-thickness water layer, with the presence of pseudo-versions of Rayleigh and Stoneley waves. The mesoscopic flow affects the propagation of all the pseudo-surface waves, causing significant velocity dispersion and attenuation, whereas the effect of the BC is mainly evident at high frequencies, due to the presence of the slow Biot wave. The mesoscopic-flow peak moves to low frequencies as the thickness of the water layer increases. In all cases, the true surface wave resembles the slow P2 wave, and is hardly affected by the flow.
