Weapon Effects v2.1 (21 December 1984) by Horizons Technology under contract to the Defense Nuclear Agency
Principles of Naval Weapons Systems by Craig M. Payne
Find the curve for the desired effect on the charts/graphs below; for 15 PSI peak static overpressure, it’s around 200 meters.
Then use the following equation:
1kTeffect * Yield(1/3) = Scaled_Number
to find the number you want.
If you wanted to know the optimum height of burst for a 225 kiloton weapon based off the 5 PSI curves below; you’d first find that the optimum height at 1 kiloton was 300~ meters; and then do the following equation:
(300 meters) * (225 kilotons)1/3 = 1,824.7 meters
This number can then be used with Weapon Effects v2.1 (21 December 1984) to generate more detailed numbers for your desired device.
