Abstract
A method, including performing, with a computer, up/down separation of geophysical data, which produces an approximate up-going wavefield and an approximate down-going wavefield; creating an areal source based at least in part on the down-going wavefield; and performing, with a computer, a full wavefield inversion process with the areal source, and an objective function measuring a misfit between modeled up-going wavefields and recorded up-going wavefields, wherein the full wavefield inversion process generates a final subsurface physical property model.
