About 10–15 Mt (range 10–40 Mt), from barograms, seismograms and forest damage scaled to nuclear tests.
About 10–15 Mt (range 10–40 Mt), from barograms, seismograms and forest damage scaled to nuclear tests.
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Fits of modern airburst models to the tree-fall vectors give energies in this range.
What would rule it out
- Physically complete simulations reproducing the tree fall with much less energy.
Evidence 2 for · none against
