A summary of research on seismic attenuation
地震波衰减反演研究综述

A great progress has been made in research on seismic attenuation over fifty years of development. In this paper, it summarizes attenuation principle of seismic wave, general theories on attenuation and main factors that affect seismic attenuation. The methods of inversion on seismic attenuation are emphasized. At last, the development tendency on research of seismic attenuation is forcasted.
