Protocol Actions
  1. Load & Clean Data:
    The nuclear explosions dataset is loaded. Entries with invalid coordinates (Latitude 0, Longitude 0) are filtered out.
  2. Feature Engineering:
    A logarithmic transformation (log1p) is applied to the yield data to better visualize the vast differences in explosion magnitudes.
  3. Visualization Platform:
    The cleaned data is exported for use in Flourish. The visualization is an interactive WebGL 3D map, allowing exploration of global testing sites.
  4. Embedding:
    The final visualization is embedded via an HTML wrapper referencing the Flourish ID 26786353.
