A minor thing about explosions

Nothing too big here, but, something I've been thinking about for a little bit, wouldn't measuring height of an explosion count as radius?

Since a ground based explosion is supposed to be hemispherical, we wouldn't need to cut the height in half (Assuming it is actually a hemisphere and not a cylinder or elipsoid as fiction sometimes does)

This would change a few calcs such as this, but I otherwise can't think of any specific examples.
