Adjoint-state differential arrival time tomography by Tong, Ping, Li, Tianjue, Chen, Jing, Nagaso,Masaru

“…The first variant, adjoint-state common-source differential arrival time tomography (ATT-CS), uses common-source differential arrival times; while the second variant, adjoint-state common-receiver differential arrival time tomography (ATT-CR), inverts common-receiver differential arrival times. Numerical examples demonstrate that the ATT-CS method is a valuable tool for imaging receiver-side fine-scale velocity structures. …”
