Formation of a mushroom cloud. Depicts the drawing up of cool air into the hot cloud via the stem, and inside the cloud is a toroidal circulation of hot gases with an updraft through the center of the toroid. Outside of the center of the cloud, the gas has cooled substantially and looks like a regular cloud.

Based roughly on figure 2.07a in Samuel Glasson and Philip J. Dolan, eds., The Effects of Nuclear Weapons 3rd. edn. (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of Defense/Energy Research and Development Administration: 1977): p. 29.
