Ocean Acidification and the Increasing Transparency of the Ocean to Low-Frequency Sound
As the ocean becomes more acidic, low-frequency (~ 1–3 kHz and below) sound travels much farther due to changes in the amounts of pH-dependent species such as dissolved borate and carbonate ions, which absorb acoustic waves. The effect is quite large; a decline in pH of only 0.3 causes a 40% decreas...
