The large-scale structure of the Earth can be extracted with seismic tomography, but the finer scales of variation within the Earth lie beyond any capacity for direct imaging. Nevertheless, the scattered wavefield produced by small-scale heterogeneity contains important information on structure.We consider the representation of variations in Earth structure on scales from the global to the regional, and discuss ways in which numerical simulations and inversions can exploit data with differing station density to provide maximum resolution of structure. We contrast deterministic and stochastic (parametric) representations of heterogeneity, and examine the way in which ensemble results can be exploited for Earth structure that is time invariant. We also consider the way that effective media, with simpler structure, can be extracted from complex models by the process of wavespeed upscaling
