The wave-equation dispersion spectrum inversion is applicable to imaging the shallow Earth across scales.• It avoids picking explicit dispersion curves, utilizes all the existing modes and inverts for multi-dimensional S-wave velocity models.• A gradient-based optimization is used to update the S-wave velocity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
