In seismic processing, we face the problem of characterizing the effect of anelastic attenuation on the seismic signal during propagation. To solve this problem, approximate physical properties of the porous fluid‐filled rock are needed. We give a strategy for estimating effective parameters governing absorption and dispersion of waves in viscoelastic media by inverting zero‐offset vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data acquired in a medium with plane horizontal layers. The VSP data are filtered such that all energy except for the direct downgoing wave and the primary reflected wave from each interface is zeroed. This procedure requires a model with layer thicknesses greater than a minimum limit. A stack of thin layers must be replaced by a layer with average physical properties and with thickness exceeding the required minimum. The model parameter vector is partitioned into two vectors. The first contains the frequency‐dependent complex propagation velocity in each layer, and is evaluated over the frequen...
