Atmospheric accoustics near the ground : a note

Auteur :
ARON, R.

Description :
Sound travels faster at higher temperatures and relative humidities. It can be heard at a greater distance with a temperature inversion or when the wind direction is toward the listener. Snow and water vapor absorb sound and thus decrease the intensity and distance over which sound can be heard.
