Abstract

The fractal dimension of high resolution Hinode solar granulation observations and numerical simulations is
studied and the results are compared. These observations are not influenced by atmospheric seeing conditions and
therefore allow a more realistic estimate of the fractal dimension than in previous works. Though arriving at
similar results for observations and simulation data, non integer fractal dimension $<2$, some differences in the
numerical values occur, and these are discussed.

Keywords

High resolution solar granulation; fractal analysis
