Seismic data is processed using a full-waveform inversion using a model with a pseudo-δ layer. The presence of the pseudo-δ layer in the model enables handing the difference at the water bottom between acoustically generated synthetic data and seismic data that corresponds to an elastic medium. The pseudo-δ layer may be less than 100 m thick and/or may be located directly underneath the water bottom. The pseudo-δ layer may have a negative value for S and a null value for ϵ (δ and ϵ being Thomsen's anisotropy parameters).
