Not really, Megan. If a ground burst occurs, then there would be tons (or mega-tons) of irradiated dirt, water, etc. to blow downwind. An airburst has significantly less fallout. When I used to participate in the kind of training exercises Giok mentioned above, a ground burst was considered to be a major error-to the military, fallout is undesirable, since it interdicts movement.
