Snapshot wavefield decomposition for heterogeneous velocity media

We propose a novel directional decomposition operator for wavefield snapshots in heterogeneous-velocity media. The proposed operator demonstrates the link between the amplitude of pressure and particlevelocity plane waves in the wavenumber domain. The proposed operator requires two spatial Fourier transforms (one forward and one backward) per...

Time-slice wavefield decomposition

We propose a novel acoustic decomposition operator for time slices, loosely based on conventional surface decomposition operators. The proposed operators hold for constant velocity models and require two 2D Fourier Transforms (one forward, one backward) per decomposed time slice per decomposition direction. We then demonstrate the capabilities...
