dc.description.abstract	A series of experiments has been performed to study the viscous absorption of sound by particulate suspensions typical of those found in coastal waters. The effect due to the particles in the frequency range of 50 - 150 kHz has been determined by taking the difference in reverberation times of a volume of water with and without particles. Measured attenuation agrees reasonably well with that predicted by theory for concentrations above 0.5 g//.
