    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    Since temperature (and thus the speed of sound) decreases with increasing altitude up to 11 km, sound is refracted upward, away from listeners on the ground, creating an acoustic shadow at some distance from the source. [9] The decrease of the speed of sound with height is referred to as a negative sound speed gradient.
