From page 53...
... Because of lower initial acoustic energies, spherical divergence, and attenuation it is unlikely that acoustics emitted by the smaller branches and channels can be easily detected over longer distances (see also Bass, 1980; Arnold, 1982~. Scattering andAerosol Effects The scattering of acoustic waves from the cloud particles is similar to the scattering of radar waves from the particles; both are strongly dependent on wavelength.
