Abstract
Numerical simulations of two-dimensional pattern formation in an anisotropi c bistable reaction-diffusion medium reveal a new dynamical state, stratifi ed spatiotemporal chaos, characterized by strong correlations along one of the principal axes. Equations that describe the dependence of front motion on the angle illustrate the mechanism leading to stratified chaos.
