AB: The Virtual ITM Observatory (VITMO) is currently operational and provides unique search and data delivery capabilities to the Ionosphere Thermosphere Mesosphere (ITM) community. Many of these capabilities in data search are currently constrained by the lack of detailed metadata required to support user requests. For example, determining when a remote sensing instrument observes a ground site is not knowable using today's metadata. In VITMO, we enhance our search capabilities by tying together the standard SPASE compliant metadata, virtual metadata generators, solar geophysical indices databases, and event lists. These additional databases and tools provide the enhanced capabilities that allow the VITMO to answer detailed searches across a variety of data sources. We will detail the architecture of this system and show how these capabilities can allow the researcher to perform many levels of scientific analysis directly from the search system. VITMO can be found at http://vitmo.jhuapl.edu.
