Here you can find the file list.
"The pertinent statement is that a monopole has twice the power density
of a dipole. "....this gives a directivity or gain of the monopole
antenna that is twice that for the double-length dipole."
I am not an expert but I think that power density is the same, just that one half is gone to the radials.
As I understand the lower third (0º to 30º) of a 90 degree (quarter wave) monopole has the same current-degree area as the top two thirds (30º to 90º)
So, also, the center third of a dipole has the same Amperes-degree as a whole 90 degree monopole or the same as the rest of the dipole, the outer thirds.
If I use a HVD thas has a vertical section 60º and the rest is end loading, capacitive, coil, etc, has the same current area as a full sized quarter wave monopole.
