Scientific paper

The Virtual ITM Observatory (VITMO) is one of the recently selected NASA domain specific virtual observatories designed to facilitate study of the ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (ITM) regions. VITMO sits above mission datacenters and provide outside users with the ability to find data sets across multiple datacenters and more importantly, find those datasets that overlap in time and/or space allowing coordinated observations of phenomena. VITMO provides many methods by which the user can search for and select data of interest including restricting selections based on geophysical conditions (solar wind speed, Kp, etc). A recent addition to VITMO is the support for "summary images" that many instrument teams use to allow the user to identify data sets of interest. VITMO has expanded this capability by automatically tying together summary images and the data sets they are derived from. This facility allows the user to "thumb through" the summary images, indicating those of interest, automatically selecting all of the appropriate data products for download. This gives the user an ability to select based on "identified features" that the user finds in the visual representations of the data sets.
