The significance of sediment reverberations on receiver functions of broadband OBS data is discussed. In particular, the data analyzed by Olugboji et al. recently in this journal show such effects which need to be carefully modeled. We also suggest that the LQ‐coordinate rotation for the receiver function analysis should be avoided for OBS data.
