Note that you can drag the target marker after you have detonated the nuke. Created by Alex Wellerstein , 2012-2024. For more about the nuclear past and present, follow @wellerstein.bsky.social , and visit my blog or read my book .

NUKEMAP is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.

2013年7月22日 · NUKEMAP3D: the next dimension of nuclear effects mapping, with 3D modeling and real-time animations of custom-built mushroom clouds and nuclear fireballs. The mushroom cloud from a 20 kiloton explosion, centered on downtown San Francisco, as viewed from my old house in the Berkeley Hills.

MISSILEMAP is designed to make it easy to see the relationship between missile range, accuracy, and warhead size. It is especially developed for assistance in understanding the power of nuclear warheads and long-range missiles.

2013年7月25日 · NUKEMAP2 is an upgraded version of the original NUKEMAP, with completely re-written effects simulations codes that allow one a huge amount of flexibility in the nuclear detonation one is trying to model. It also allows fallout mapping and …

It allowed a user to see the ground effects of a nuclear weapon over any city in the world in 3D, as well as render a size-accurate mushroom cloud for any given yield of nuclear weapon.

NUKEMAP is a what used to be called a "mash-up." It takes code written by others — in this case Mapbox+Leaflet (originally Google Maps) — and use it for somewhat different purposes than it was intended, notably to show nuclear weapons effects.

2012年2月3日 · As NUKEMAP and the Nuclear Darkness tool both make clear, the real threat of an air-burst nuclear weapon is from thermal radiation, not blast waves—at least, assuming an optimal-altitude detonation.

I enjoy creating new visualizations for matters related to nuclear history and nuclear security. Since it can be hard to find these scattered throughout my blog posts, I have collected some of them here: NUKEMAP — nuclear weapons effects simulator for Google Maps (more information)
