Title: Decoupled Fréchet kernels based on a fractional viscoacoustic wave equation

Journal Article · · Geophysics

We formulate the Fréchet kernel computation using the adjoint-state method based on a fractional viscoacoustic wave equation. We first numerically prove that both the 1/2- and the 3/2-order fractional Laplacian operators are self-adjoint. Using this property, we show that the adjoint wave propagator preserves the dispersion and compensates the amplitude, while the time-reversed adjoint wave propagator behaves identically as the forward propagator with the same dispersion and dissipation characters. Without introducing rheological mechanisms, this formulation adopts an explicit Q parameterization, which avoids the implicit Q in the conventional viscoacoustic/viscoelastic full waveform inversion (Q-FWI). In addition, because of the decoupling of operators in the wave equation, the viscoacoustic Fréchet kernel is separated into three distinct contributions with clear physical meanings: lossless propagation, dispersion, and dissipation. Here, we find that the lossless propagation kernel dominates the velocity kernel, while the dissipation kernel dominates the attenuation kernel over the dispersion kernel.
