Abstract

We present results of Monte Carlo simulations of elastic radiative transfer theory, especially in the range of strong forward scattering. Simulations were done for several types of continuous random media in a full space model. We show that fluctuation strength and correlation length are not resolvable in the strong forward scattering regime, but combinations of these parameters related to the transport mean free path (TMFP) can be obtained. From the frequency dependence of the TMFP we also obtain the type of the random medium. As an example, we invert local data from a crustal event for scattering parameters and show which parameters are resolvable in the strong forward scattering regime.
