Comparison of field and laboratory seismic velocity anisotropy measurement (scaling factor)

Abstract

Field measurements proved relatively high value of anisotropy P-wave propagation - 25%, while laboratory experiments only 1.5%. Laboratory samples contain only microcraks, rock massif contains beside mickrocraks also cracks with size of few meters.
