Crosshole seismic tomography including the anisotropy effect
Velocity anisotropy caused by fine layering has a strong effect on the travel paths at large vertical offsets in crosshole seismic data. This effect must be considered in seismic waveform tomography, so that the inversion procedure can match the waveforms in real data. In this paper, we propose to properly take into account this anisotropic effect in two stages. First, we invert for the anisotropy parameter simultaneously with the (horizontal) velocity in travel time tomography. Then we incorporate this estimated anisotropy parameter model in the waveform simulation during waveform tomography, to refine the velocity image. When considering this anisotropic effect, far-offset data are properly used in the inversion, then both travel time and waveform tomography may have a better ray coverage, producing a velocity image with a higher resolution.
