Time Domain Waveform Inversion for the Q Model Based on the First-Order Viscoacoustic Wave Equations

Propagating seismic waves are dispersed and attenuated in the subsurface due to the conversion of elastic energy into heat. The absorptive property of a medium can be described by the quality factor Q. In this study, the first-order pressure-velocity viscoacoustic wave equations based on the standar...
