where $T$ is the transmission coefficient
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:integral}
T = \exp{\int^{r_2}_{r_1} i k_r dr} \sim \exp{\int^{r_2}_{r_1} \, .
%- \frac{\sqrt{\ell (\ell +1)}}{r} dr } \, .
\end{equation}
{\bf The value of $T$ is approximately the fractional decrease in wave amplitude across the evanescent region, whereas $T^2$ is the fractional decrease in wave energy. In the WKB approximation, the value of the radial wavenumber $k_r$ within the evanescent region is}
\begin{equation}

The damping time $\tau$ is the lifetime of wave energy located in the acoustic cavity. It is not equal to the lifetime of a non-suppressed dipole mode, because much of the dipole mode energy resides within the core. Instead, $\tau$ is approximately equal to the lifetime of a radial mode, because all of its energy is in the acoustic cavity. Thus, $\tau$ can be equated with observed/theoretical lifetimes of radial modes.
