摘要:

基于马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗(MCMC)模拟的概率反演方法非常适合量化非线性反问题的参数和模型不确定性。然而,这种方法的应用程序的CPU密集型的前向模型可以是一项艰巨的任务,特别是如果参数空间是高维的。在这里,我们提出了一个二维(2D)基于像素的MCMC反演平面波电磁(EM)数据。使用合成数据,我们研究模型参数的不确定性如何依赖于模型结构的约束,使用不同的范数的似然函数和模型约束,并研究了EM和电阻率层析成像(ERT)数据的联合反演的额外好处。我们的研究结果表明,模型结构约束是一个必要的稳定MCMC反演结果的高度离散化的模型。这些约束减少了模型参数的不确定性,并有利于模型的解释。一个缺点是,这些约束可能会导致后验分布不完全包括真正的基础模型,因为它的一些功能表现出低灵敏度的EM数据,因此难以解决。这个问题可以部分缓解,如果平面波EM数据与ERT观测增强。本文介绍和使用的分层贝叶斯逆公式能够成功地恢复测量数据误差和模型正则化权重的概率特性。应用所提出的反演方法,从含水层的现场数据表明,后均值模型实现是非常相似的确定性反演与类似的模型约束。

英文摘要:

Probabilistic inversion methods based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation are well suited to quantify parameter and model uncertainty of nonlinear inverse problems. Yet, application of such methods to CPU-intensive forward models can be a daunting task, particularly if the parameter space is high dimensional. Here, we present a two-dimensional (2D) pixel-based MCMC inversion of plane-wave electromagnetic (EM) data. Using synthetic data, we investigate how model parameter uncertainty depends on model structure constraints using different norms of the likelihood function and the model constraints, and study the added benefits of joint inversion of EM and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data. Our results demonstrate that model structure constraints are a necessity to stabilize the MCMC inversion results of a highly-discretized model. These constraints decrease model parameter uncertainty and facilitate model interpretation. A drawback is that these constraints may lead to posterior distributions that do not fully include the true underlying model, because some of its features exhibit a low sensitivity to the EM data, and hence are difficult to resolve. This problem can be partly mitigated if the plane-wave EM data is augmented with ERT observations. The hierarchical Bayesian inverse formulation introduced and used herein is able to successfully recover the probabilistic properties of the measurement data errors and a model regularization weight. Application of the proposed inversion methodology to field data from an aquifer demonstrates that the posterior mean model realization is very similar to that derived from a deterministic inversion with similar model constraints.
