Abstract

The effect of changes in near-surface atmospheric thermal stratification and wind velocity over a daily 24-h cycle upon the transmission of low-frequency animal calls is shown. The area ensonified changes from 30 km² during the day to over 300 km² in the early evening. The role of thermal stratification and fluctuations in wind velocity in governing these changes in transmission is discussed. Intranocturnal changes in the thermal and velocity fields of the atmosphere interrupt the optimum nighttime conditions with periods of poor acoustic conditions.
