A study of viscous effects in seismic modeling, imaging, and inversion: Methodology, computational aspects, and sensitivity

Real Earth media are anelastic, which affects both the kinematics and dynamics of propagating waves: Waves are attenuated and dispersed. If anelastic effects are neglected, inversion and migration can yield erroneous results. The anelastic effects in real rocks can be well described by a viscoelasti...
