Seismic tomography Seismic tomography Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves produced by earthquakes or explosions. P-, S-, and surface waves can be used for tomographic models of different resolutions based on seismic wavelength, wave source distance, and the seismograph array coverage. The data received at seismometers are used to solve an inverse problem, wherein the locations of reflection and refraction of the wave paths are determined. This solution can be used to create 3D images of velocity anomalies which may be interpreted as structural, thermal, or compositional variations. Geoscientists use these images to
Seismic inverse Q filtering from the phase. Comparing with fig.1.b. we can see that the smaller the reference frequency f in the forward solution,the more phase effect we get. In the inverse solution (1.8.a) we have the opposite effect,the higher value of f the more the forward phase effect is compensated, toward a causal solution. The graphs give a good illustration of Q-filtering according to the theory of Wang. However, more calculations should be done and more seismic models should be introduced. The effect of amplitude inverse Q-filtering should also be studied. Seismic inverse Q filtering Seismic inverse Q filtering is a data processing
