        | Zusammenfassung |  
        | Using a stochastic model, we simulate the process of dielectric
breakdown in the atmosphere and calculate the fractal dimension of 3-dimensional lightning
patterns. Finite-size effects have been studied. The projections of our patterns on
vertical planes fit the experimental fractal dimension obtained from photographic
analysis. This work is inspired by a previous work by A.A. Tsonis. |
