The US Government Printing Office publishes a book called
"The Effects of Nuclear Weapons." I think it was last revised
around 1978. It is a compilation of (unclassified) results from
all those test blasts in the 50's and 60's. There is a fairly
long chapter about the effects of shock waves in land, water, and
air, but I don't remember whether they talk about vertical lines.

Anyway, it's full of information, (~300pp, hardbound), cheap ($14.95),
and you also get one of those "Dr. Strangelove" bomb effect calculators
to scare your friends with ("Let's see...100KT air burst at 6000 feet...").
