5.7 a) A representative common source gather from the crosshole data<br />

collected at the Imperial College test site. The signal to noise ratio is<br />

high, and the rst arrival wave<strong>for</strong>ms are clear and coherent. At late<br />

times, incoherent, large amplitude arrivals dominate. b) Predicted<br />

common source data using acoustic <strong><strong>for</strong>ward</strong> <strong>modelling</strong> in the velocity<br />

structure shown in Figure 5.6. The rst arrival traveltimes and wave<strong>for</strong>ms<br />

match well with the observed data, but the large amplitude,<br />

late arrivals are not predicted with the acoustic method. . . . . . . . 144<br />

5.8 Predicted common source data using the new visco-elastic <strong>modelling</strong><br />

results. a) Horizontal displacement component. b) Vertical displacement<br />

component. The horizontal component shows rst arrival times<br />

and wave<strong>for</strong>ms that are similar to the acoustic <strong>modelling</strong> results, and<br />

some high amplitude arrivals at late times. The vertical component<br />

shows high amplitude arrivals similar to those observed on the real<br />

data. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 145<br />
