For the very same model we are computing the complete wavefield using a viscoelastic finite difference scheme (Larsen and Schultz, 1995). We compare the synthetic results amongst each other and with real microseismic data recorded with an in?mine seismic network. The resulting first arrival times generally agree with the onset of the synthetic wavefield, whereas the amplitude distribution is strongly affected by the heterogeneities in the model. Such amplitude variations at the different in?mine geophones as well as P? and S?wave coda lengths generally agree with the observed microseismic data.} }
