Re: Radioactive ash?

Well, the simultaneous explosions of 5 or 6 one-megaton nukes 16,000 feet under the ocean's surface must be detectable, one way or another... Infrared? Red and lower frequencies are absorbed by water --hence the deeper you dive the bluer it gets... I guess that's also why satellites can't pick up the heat released by submarines... But the heat released by FIVE nukes????? Five gas bubbles pulsing and rising to the surface? I believe it was possible for a (forest-)fire-monitoring satellite to detect the temperature gradient resulting from the gas bubbles popping up at the (ocean's) surface.

As for radioactive fallout, a radioactive aerosol might also have been detectable. Then again, remember Chernobyl: European media kept speculating about the path followed by the "nuclear cloud" over Europe --yet we were NEVER showed actual satellite pictures... Classified up to this day!
