Low-altitude airbursts and the impact threat
M. B. E. Boslough, D. A. Crawford, 2008. International Journal of Impact Engineering 35(12), 1441–1448.
Hydrocode simulations in which the downward momentum of the airburst fireball lowers the energy needed to fell the forest, giving an estimate of about 3–5 Mt.
What it's used for here
The low-energy estimate.
