Launched on February 17, 2007 on a DELTA II rocket, NASA's Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission is a Medium-class Explorer project and the first space mission to study the sequence of magnetospheric events that trigger gigantic auroral displays in the polar regions using a macro-scale constellation of spacecraft. THEMIS is composed of a space segment of 5 identical probes equipped with particle and field instruments and a ground segment of about 20 Ground-Based Observatories with all-sky cameras and magnetometers. During its nominal mission THEMIS has observed over 20 substorm events, measured radial profiles of high energy particles through the radiation belts year-round, and provided numerous multi-point measurements across the magnetopause and bow shock with upstream monitoring. THEMIS data as well as the methods developed to simultaneously detect magnetospheric processes or structures are ideal for the development of software tools to efficiently extract data. We will present the potential of the THEMIS data to catalog magnetospheric events, define search patterns for event detection as well standardized interfaces with models.
