\label{eqn:integral2}  T \simeq \bigg( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \bigg)^{\sqrt{l(l+1)}} \, ,  \end{equation}  where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the boundaries of the evanescent region (in this case, the upper boundary occurs where $\omega $\omega=L_{\ell}$  and the lower boundary occurs where $\omega $\omega=N$).  For waves of the same frequency, larger values of $\ell$ have larger values of $r_2$, thus equation \ref{eqn:integral2} demonstrates that high $\ell$ waves have much smaller transmission coefficients through the evanescent zone. The fraction of transmitted energy flux through the evanescent region is $T^2$, while the fraction of reflected energy is $R^2=1-T^2$.  Let's assume that for suppressed modes, any mode energy which leaks into the g-mode cavity is completely lost.
