The measurements for the contours are in Roentgens per hour of gamma radiation, as extrapolated back to the standard reference time of 1 hour after detonation (before most of the fallout was actually deposited). The data have also been converted to land-equivalent dose rates, which at 2 days after burst were 535 times the measured levels from fallout dispersed in the water above the thermocline
