Note that this is an example of the fact that with yields in the 10s of kilotons, you get very non-mushroom stem/head ratios. More columnar.

For NUKEMAP3D I adjusted some of the stem ratio for these yields because the result didn't conform to popular expectations.

I felt it was a fine line between producing something technically more accurate but intuitively more difficult to make sense of.

So I usually opted for something somewhere in between — accurate where it mattered the most, aesthetically intuitive where it didn't.

(And I classed "ratio of stem to cloud at low yields" to be in the not as technically important category.)

@wellerstein Thanks for the link! Nagasaki Museum's exhibit story says the B-29 was named "Boxcar". I thought it was "Bockscar", wasn't it? -
@benknispel Yeah, it was "Bockscar." Perhaps a transliteration issue? -
@wellerstein OK, thanks for the expert confirmation. I agree, transliteration issue could be the problem.

@wellerstein It'd feel so wrong taking that picture.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
