Summary of the different cases.

Wave and fluid properties

σ(rc) κ ν

 ≠ 0 Not a critical layer

0 0 0  ≥ 1/4 attenuation Fig. 1

 < 1/4 Possible over-reflection + possible over-transmission Fig. 3

 ≠ 0
 ≪ 1  ≥ 1/4 Attenuation + radiative damping

 ≪ 1  < 1/4 Possible over-reflection + possible over-transmission + radiative damping

 ≫ 1 Non-stellar case

Notes. The observed effects depend on the properties of the wave (the frequency (σ) and degrees (l, m)) and of the fluid (thermal conductivity (κ), viscosity coefficient (ν), Richardson number (Ri)).
