I derived that curve by messing around in desmos trying to get the curve to fit the data.

Dammit, Gump! You're a goddamn genius!

That was great! Thank you for posting all that. I made it all the way through algebra 4 in high school, and I remember maybe 5% of it. Math gives me a headache.

But if I read that right, I was close. You have to jump from 100 kt to 700 kt (approximate) if you want to double the amount of damage done by area.

There are a lot of variables in play, such as assuming that both yields are airburst at the proper altitude to maximize their destructive power. Geography and weather also play a role. But as a general guide, that's information to have. Thank you!
