Finite-frequency sensitivity kernels and hierarchical traveltime and waveform inversion of direct and reflected waves from vertical seismic profile data
Abstract:Wave-equation-based traveltime or waveform inversion updates the velocity model along finite-frequency sensitivity kernels and exhibits higher accuracy than ray-based tomography. Owing to special geometry, the kernels for vertical seismic profile (VSP) data are different from those for surface seismic data. We use the Born approximation to compute the traveltime and waveform kernels for direct and reflected waves from VSP data. Based on the property of sensitivity kernels for different information and arrivals… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
