Models attenuation loss using the Thorp's model.
attenuation (dB/km) = 0.0033 + F2* ( 3.0e-4 + 44.0/(4100.0 + F2) + 0.11/(1.0 + F2) );
where: F2 = square of frequency in kilohertz
Valid for: 1000 m, 4 deg C, 35 ppt salinity, pH=8, 100-5000 Hz.
The effect of pressure on absorption is taken into account with a depth correction term:
attenuation(d0) = attenuation(d0) ( 1 - 5.88264e-6 d ) / ( 1 - 5.88264e-6 d0 )
where: d = depth in meters. d0 = reference depth in meters (1000 m for Thorp). attenuation(d0) = attenuation at reference depth.
