THEMIS consists of five spacecraft and 31 ground observatories, including 10 education and public outreach sites. The spacecraft carry a comprehensive suite of particle and field instruments providing measurements with different sampling rates and modes, including survey and burst collection. The distributed array of ground based observatories equipped with 21 all-sky imagers and 31 ground magnetometers provide continuous monitoring of aurora and magnetic field variations from Alaska to Greenland. Data are automatically processed within hours of receipt, stored in daily Common Data Format (CDF) files, plotted and distributed along with corresponding calibration files via a central site at SSL/UCB and several mirror sites worldwide. THEMIS software is an open source, platform independent, IDL-based library of utilities. The system enables downloads of calibrated (L2) or raw (L1) data, data analysis, ingestion of data from other missions and ground stations, and production of publication quality plots. The combination of a user-friendly graphical user interface and a command line interface support a wide range of users. In addition, IDL scripts (crib sheets) are provided for manipulation of THEMIS and ancillary data sets. The system design philosophy will be described along with examples to demonstrate the software capabilities in streamlining data/software distribution and exchange, thereby further enhancing science productivity.
