To fill this knowledge gap, we derive exact R/T coefficient equations for a plane wave incident obliquely at the interface between the dissimilar pressured fluid-saturated porous half-spaces described by the theory of poro-acoustoelasticity (PAE). The central result of the classic PAE theory is first reviewed, and then a dual-porosity model is employed to generalize this theory by incorporating the impact of nonlinear crack deformation. The new velocity equations of generalized PAE theory can describe the nonlinear pressure dependence of fast P-, S- and slow P-wave velocities and have a reasonable agreement with the laboratory measurements. The general boundary conditions associated with membrane stiffness are used to yield the exact pressure-dependent wave R/T coefficient equations. We then model the impacts of effective pressure on the angle and frequency dependence of wave R/T coefficients and synthetic seismic responses in detail and compare our equations to the previously reported equations in zero-pressure case. It is inferred that the existing R/T coefficient equations for porous media may be misleading, since they lack consideration for inevitable in situ pressure effects. Modeling results also indicate that effective pressure and membrane stiffness significantly affect the amplitude variation with offset characteristics of reflected seismic signatures, which emphasizes the significance of considering the effects of both in practical applications related to the observed seismic data. By comparing the modeled R/T coefficients to the results computed with laboratory measured velocities, we preliminarily confirm the validity of our equations. Our equations and results are relevant to hydrocarbon exploration, in situ pressure detection and geofluid discrimination in high-pressure fields.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49458,"journal":{"name":"Surveys in Geophysics","volume":"45 4","pages":"1245 - 1290"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140814369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On this basis, we considered the use of a combination of Gramian coupling terms rather than one term to link petrophysical and structural domains during joint inversions.

Synthetic inversion experiments suggest that, without accounting for anisotropy, the inverted density structures by isotropic FWI are damaged by strong trade-off artifacts. Anisotropic FWI can provide more accurate P-wave velocity, density, and valuable anisotropy models.

This contribution discusses frameworks and methods for consistent evaluation of key quantities of those budgets using observationally constrained data sets. It thereby touches upon assumptions made in data products which have implications for these evaluations. We evaluate 2001–2020 average regional total (TE) and dry static energy (DSE) budgets using satellite-based and reanalysis data. For the first time, a consistent framework is applied to the ensemble of the 5th generation European Reanalysis (ERA5), version 2 of modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications (MERRA-2), and the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA55). Uncertainties of the computed budgets are assessed through inter-product spread and evaluation of physical constraints. Furthermore, we use the TE budget to infer fields of net surface energy flux. Results indicate biases &lt; 1 W/m² on the global, &lt; 5 W/m² on the continental, and ~ 15 W/m² on the regional scale. Inferred net surface energy fluxes exhibit reduced large-scale biases compared to surface flux data based on remote sensing and models. We use the DSE budget to infer atmospheric diabatic heating from condensational processes. Comparison to observation-based precipitation data indicates larger uncertainties (10–15 Wm⁻² globally) in the DSE budget compared to the TE budget, which is reflected by increased spread in reanalysis-based fields. Continued validation efforts of atmospheric energy budgets are needed to document progress in new and upcoming observational products, and to understand their limitations when performing EEI research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49458,"journal":{"name":"Surveys in Geophysics","volume":"45 6","pages":"1827 - 1854"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10712-024-09827-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140607550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the low-rank representation of seismic signals shows that they can be determined by a few elementary modes with predominantly large singular values. We review global and local low-rank representation for seismic reflectivity models and then apply it to least-squares migration (LSM) in acoustic and viscoacoustic media. In the global singular value decomposition (SVD), the elementary modes determined by singular vectors represent horizontal and vertical stratigraphic segments sorted from low to high wavenumbers, and the corresponding singular values reflect the contribution of these basic modes to form a broadband reflectivity model. In contrast, local SVD for grouped patch matrices can capture nonlocal similarity and thus accurately represent the reflectivity model with fewer ranks than the global SVD method. Taking advantage of this favorable sparsity, we introduce a local low-rank regularization into LSM to estimate subsurface reflectivity models. A two-step algorithm is developed to solve this low-rank constrained inverse problem: the first step is for least-squares data fitting and the second is for weighted nuclear-norm minimization. Numerical experiments for synthetic and field data demonstrate that the low-rank constraint outperforms conventional shaping and total-variation regularizations, and can produce high-quality reflectivity images for complicated structures and low signal-to-noise data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49458,"journal":{"name":"Surveys in Geophysics","volume":"45 3","pages":"845 - 886"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10712-024-09828-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140607941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
