minus-squareKISSmyOS@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-29 months agoI got the yield range of the Hiroshima bomb from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield and used 60 TJ as a middle estimate. I got the increase in Ocean Heat Content between 2020 and 2021 from here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00376-022-1461-3 and used 14 ZJ as a middle estimate. Then I divided one by the other and rounded down to the nearest 10 million Hiroshima bombs, cause who cares about a couple million of those here and there?
