ParelastiFWI 1.0 User Guide

Preston, Leiph A.

ParelastiFWl is a python-based frontend to the seismic full waveform inversion process using Sandia Geophysics Department's 3-D isotropic elastic full waveform simulation code, Parelasti. The arguments one provides to ParelastiFWl guide the full waveform inversion process, including resolution of the inversion grid and basic regularization. This report outlines the user flags and ParelastiFWI usage to control the full waveform inversion procedure.
