Wave-equation traveltime inversion
This paper presents a new traveltime inversion method based on the wave equation. In this new method, designated as wave-equation traveltime inversion (WT), seismograms are computed by any full-wave forward modeling method (we use a finitedifference method). The velocity model is perturbed until the traveltimes from the synthetic seismograms are best fitted to the observed traveltimes in a leas...
متن کاملMultimode surface wave tomography for the Australian region using a three-stage approach incorporating finite frequency effects
[1] A three-stage inversion technique for surface wave tomography is applied to the Australian region. The inversion procedure consists of three independent processes. In the first stage, path-specific one-dimensional (1-D) shear velocity profiles are derived from multimode waveform inversion to provide dispersion information. The information from all paths is then combined to produce multimode...
متن کاملVelocity Inversion with an Iterative Normal Incidence Point (NIP) Wave Tomography with Model-Based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) Stack
Normal Incidence Point (NIP) wave tomography inversion has been recently developed to generate a velocity model using Common Reflection Surface (CRS) attributes, which is called the kinematic wavefield attribute. In this paper, we propose to use the model based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) stack method attributes instead of data driven Common Reflection Surface attributes as an input data p...
متن کاملHigh resolution traveltime and slowness tomography
A new 2-D traveltime tomography algorithm has been developed for use with long offset seismic streamer data. The forward problem is solved using initial value ray tracing in Delaunay triangulated grids. The traveltimes are calculated analytically. The linearised joint interface and velocity inversion is regularised via a geostatistical smoothing regularisation based on the formulation of a data...
متن کاملCase Studies of Seismic Tomography and Earthquake Location in a Regional Context
We present three case studies of traveltime tomography applied to regional imaging of the earth's crust and upper mantle. The first case study investigates the imaging of Poisson's ratio using measurements of compressional and shear wave traveltimes. Inversions schemes that jointly fit both types of traveltime data and that selectively damp the compressional to shear wave velocity ratio are sho...
