Highly accurate solutions to general wave scattering problems can be calculated using an impedance operator to factorize the wave equation by direction of energy flow. The classical second-order partial differential wave equation for a heterogeneous region bounded in the vertical direction is recast as a set of two first-order initial value problems: a spectral expansion converts these to ordinary differential equations, which can then solved to a very high degree of precision. We demonstrate this technique for both P-SV and SH problems and validate our results by comparison with a finite-difference calculation. In its most straightforward form, when the wavefields inside and outside the heterogeneous region are matched using a common Fourier expansion, the method is computationally expensive; a reformulation in which the coupling is carried out via a boundary integral technique is much more efficient, however.
