- Errors in Figures
In the original publication, there were some errors in Figures 9–16. The errors and the corrected figures appear below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
The updates in Figures 9–14 are a result of adjustments to the small range step used in the simulation. This adjustment improved the resolution and accuracy of the transmission loss (TL) calculations, allowing for clearer visualization of the TL trends. Moreover, no changes were made to the underlying data, equations, results, or methodology, ensuring consistency with the originally published content. The purpose of these updates is to enhance the graphical quality for better reader comprehension.

Figures 15 and 16 required amendments due to a minor calculation error in the simulation of the sound field and transmission loss. This minor error originated from a typographical error in the input parameters during the plotting process. The updated figures now accurately reflect the sound field and TL trends, specifically concerning the effects of incoherent TL at different frequencies (Figure 15) and at different receiver depths (Figure 16). Despite this correction, the trends remain consistent with the original published figures, and the changes do not affect the scientific interpretations. Moreover, the trends regarding frequency, receiver depths, and TL remain consistent with the original published figures, reflecting no significant deviations in the conclusions or interpretations.
