Abstract
Method for using the full wavefield (primaries, internal multiples and free-surface multiples) in inversion of marine seismic data, including both pressure and vertical velocity data (), to infer a subsurface model of acoustic velocity or other physical property. The marine seismic data are separated () into up-going () and down-going () wavefields, and both wavefields are inverted in a joint manner, in which the final model is impacted by both wavefields. This may be achieved by inverting both wavefields simultaneously (), or one after the other, i.e. in a cascaded approach (, or), for the subsurface properties ().
