Resumo: The Marine Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic (MCSEM) method is a geophysical tool for the detection of resistive targets in the subsurface of the oceanic floor. In this work we model MCSEM data in one-dimensional environments, including variations in the resistivity of the ocean water, as horizontal layers of uniform resistivity. Such variations can arise from the influence of marine currents, temperature gradients or any other source of influence on the water salinity.We study the effect of such variations on the MCSEM data. Our results show that the interpretation can be strongly influenced, especially for normalized data. We see that changes in the water resistivity have a similar effect on the data as changes in the water depth, and that both affect the attenuation of the so called "air-wave".
