In the numerous multi-megaton tests in the South Pacific, the result was a large ripple or wave of a metre or more high and several metres along its direction. Whereas what we think of now as a tsunami is a large body of water several metres high and kilometres along its direction.

When the US used to 'vaporise' coral islands at sea level, they were somewhat crestfallen to see that the crater allegedly a mile wide was also impressively shallow despite detonating the device on the ground. It is often viewed as counter-intuitive that energy behaves like this and its not helpful to the various movies that wish to show the depth or width of the propagation of energy. But it is one of the reasons why development of larger nuclear weapons was stalled. Despite its optimum height airburst the 1962 Russian 50mt bomb did impressively little damage for something many times bigger than the combined power of every explosive used in every war since time began. Warmed up a lot of air high in.the atmosphere though!
The Barringer Crater is over 500ft deep though - into solid rock - and the explosive equivalent of that is only estimated at around 10 megatons. There appears to be something different about the dynamics of a direct impact as opposed to an explosion at ground level or an air burst (nuclear or natural).
