Conventional full-waveform inversion (FWI) using the least-squares norm as a misfit function is known to suffer from cycle-skipping issues which increases the risk of computing a local rather than the global minimum of the misfit. The quadratic Wasserstein metric has been proved to have many ideal properties with regards to convexity and insensitivity to noise. When the observed and predicted seismic data are considered to be two density functions, the quadratic Wasserstein metric corresponds to the optimal cost of rearranging one density into the other, where the transportation cost is quadratic in distance. Unlike the least-squares norm, the quadratic Wasserstein metric measures not only amplitude differences but also global phase shifts, which helps to avoid cycle-skipping issues. We propose a new way of using the quadratic Wasserstein metric trace-by-trace in FWI and compare it to the global quadratic Wasserstein metric via the solution of the Monge-Ampere equation. We incorporate the quadratic Wasser...
