In this paper we discuss our work with agent-based image processing systems, and describe work in progress applying these concepts to meteorological data sets, especially radar. Radar is particularly amenable to image processing, being structured in 2, 3 or 4 dimensions, and conveying reflectivity or velocity information. We discuss a number of existing meteorological radar image processing sys...

Microbursts, short-lived but intense electron precipitation observed by low-Earth-orbiting satellites, may contribute significantly to the losses of energetic electrons in outer radiation belt. Their origin is likely due whistler mode chorus waves, as evidenced a strong overlap spatial correlation two. Despite previous efforts on modeling bursty induced most, if not all, rely assumption that wa...

Observations of relativistic electron precipitation events from Earth's inner magnetosphere to the upper atmosphere provide essential information about source/loss processes and dynamics radiation belts. Equatorial pitch angle isotropy can be an indicator into atmosphere, with isotropic populations resulting in a full bounce loss cone (BLC) anisotropic emptier BLC. Here we study microbursts, wh...
