\frac{V_{\rm sup}^2}{V_{\rm norm}^2} = \bigg[1 + \Delta \nu \tau_0 T^2 \bigg]^{-1} \, .
\end{equation}
The damping time $\tau_0$ is the lifetime of wave energy located in the acoustic cavity. It is not equal to the
mode lifetime of a
normal non-suppressed dipole mode, because much of
their its energy resides within the core. Instead, it is approximately equal to the mode lifetime of a radial mode, because all of its energy is in the acoustic cavity. Thus, $\tau_0$ can be estimated from observed/theoretical lifetimes of radial modes.
