We discover two different types of episodes on the appearance of horizontal magnetic fields with Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode.
The first episode is an emergence of strong thin horizontal magnetic fields associated with separating vertical components on both ends. Its size is about two granules. We also detect strong area asymmetry of the environment Stokes Vprofile for the bout 8 minutes before the first emergence of the horizontal component. One of the footpoints has very strong downflows (several km/s), while the region with strong linear polarization signal has small blue shift, indicating an upward-moving horizontal flux.
The second episode appears to be more ubiquitous. Linear polarization signals appear inside granules (not in inter-granules). Their size is smaller than granules, and lifetime is longer than several minutes. We will summarize the nature of the two types of the horizontal magnetic fluxes, and discuss their origin.
