Abstract
A method can include receiving seismic data of a seismic survey of a subsurface region; performing a full waveform inversion using the seismic data and a model of the subsurface region to determine one or more characteristics of the subsurface region, where the model of the subsurface region includes one or more angle-dependent model parameters; and outputting the one or more characteristics of the subsurface region.

A method comprising:
- receiving seismic data of a seismic survey of a subsurface region;
- performing a full waveform inversion using the seismic data and a model of the subsurface region to determine one or more characteristics of the subsurface region, wherein the model of the subsurface region includes one or more angle-dependent model parameters;
- and
- outputting the one or more characteristics of the subsurface region.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory accessible by the processor;
- and
- processor-executable instructions stored in the memory that are executable to instruct the system to:
- receive seismic data of a seismic survey of a subsurface region;
- perform a full waveform inversion using the seismic data and a model of the subsurface region to determine one or more characteristics of the subsurface region, wherein the model of the subsurface region includes one or more angle-dependent model parameters;
- and
- output the one or more characteristics of the subsurface region.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions executable to instruct a computer to:
- receive seismic data of a seismic survey of a subsurface region;
- perform a full waveform inversion using the seismic data and a model of the subsurface region to determine one or more characteristics of the subsurface region, wherein the model of the subsurface region includes one or more angle-dependent model parameters;
- and
- output the one or more characteristics of the subsurface region.
