Multimodal, curated data sets and nuisance event catalogs remain rare in the explosion monitoring community relative to curated seismic data sets. The source of this relative absence is the difficultly in deploying multimodal receivers that sense the seismic, acoustic, and other modalities from multiphysics sources. We provide such a data set in this study that delivers seismic, infrasound, and electromagnetic (magnetometer) sensor records collected over a two–week period, within 255 km of a 10 ton buried chemical explosion called DAG–4 that was located at 37.1146°, –116.0693° on 22 June 2019 21:06:19.88 UTC. This catalog includes 485 seismic, seismoacoustic, and infrasound–only events that an expert analyst manually built by reviewing waveforms from 29 seismic and infrasound sensors. Our data release includes waveforms from these 29 seismic, infrasound, and seismoacoustic stations and two magnetometer stations and their station metadata. We deliver these waveforms in NNSA KB Core CSS.w format (i4) with a corresponding wfdisc table that provides the header information. Here, we expect that this data set will provide a valuable, benchmark resource to develop signal processing algorithms and explosion monitoring methods against manual, human observations.
