It is observed that the number of these structures decays with their size following a power-law, for a given noise-strength. The number of structures decays with their lifetime following a stretched exponential. We have seen an interesting phenomenon, which we call stochastic coherence, in which the average length as well as the average lifetime of these structures exhibit bell-shaped maxima for some intermediate range of noise-strength values. Similar features have also been observed for `spatio-temporal structures'.15 pages LaTeX file for text, 20 Postscript files for figures.
