Propagation of sound through the lower atmosphere is influenced by numerous factors which are difficult to measure and more difficult to predict. In addition to the well known laboratory observable loss mechanisms of heat conduction, gas transport, and molecular absorption, inhomogeneities in a real atmosphere have significant influence on a propagating sound wave. This study presents a qualitative discussion of different categories of atmospheric inhomogeneity and their individual and combined effects on sound propagation. Subsequently, a field test involving the propagation of aircraft noise over distances up to 10 miles is described, and a simplified empirical model for 'excess' atmospheric attenuation due to inhomogeneities in the atmosphere is derived from the data.
