Turbulence and reverberation degrade different signal dimensions independently

Evidence

Amplitude fluctuation caused by atmospheric turbulence masks the amplitude modulation of a signal, whereas reverberation caused by scattering from topography and vegetation acts on frequency modulation. — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 657
