Mass burned to NSE as compared to the mass above a density of 2 × 10 7 g cm −3 at the first DDT time for each realization in our sample. The different shapes plotted (+, ×, *, , █) correspond to different transition densities (10 7.1, 10 7.2, 10 7.3, 10 7.4, 10 7.5), respectively. The solid line shows the linear fit to yields produced with a DDT density of 10 7.1 g cm −3 most closely matching the DDT density used in Townsley et al. (2009). The dashed line shows a 1:1 correlation between the NSE yield and mass above 2 × 10 7 g cm −3. The lowest two DDT densities are less than the density threshold 2 × 10 7 g cm −3 and thus show more scatter about the linear relation due to increased dependence on the plume morphology.
