Let {X(s, t), s = (s1, s2) ∈ ℝ2, t ∈ ℝ} be a stationary random field defined over a discrete lattice. In this paper, we consider a set of domain of attraction criteria giving the notion of extremal index for random fields. Together with the extremal-types theorem given by Leadbetter and Rootzen (1997), this will give a characterization of the limiting distribution of the maximum of such random fields.
