The dynamics of horizontal plasma flows during the first hours of the emergence of active region magnetic fields in the solar photosphere have been analyzed using SOHO/MDI data. Four active regions emerging near the solar limb have been considered. It has been found that extended regions with different signs of velocity are formed in the first hours of the emergence of magnetic fields in the horizontal velocity field. The flows observed are directly connected with the emergence of the magnetic flux of active regions. They form at the beginning of the appearance of magnetic fields and are present for a few hours. Velocity structures situated in the region of leading magnetic poles are more powerful and exist longer than those in the following ones. The Doppler velocity values exceed substantially the separation velocity of the outer boundaries of the photospheric magnetic flux. The interpretation of the observable flow of photospheric plasma is given.
