Absorption, dispersion and sound sources

Storyboard

The attenuation of sound waves in the ocean depends on the frequency of the sound. For low frequencies (below 10 kHz), the main contribution comes from boric acid ions, while in the range between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, it is due to the effect of magnesium sulfate ions. For higher frequencies, attenuation is primarily due to the viscosity of the water.
