Abstract: We present statistical properties of the transient horizontal magnetic field (THMF) observed by the spectropolarimeter (SP) aboard Hinode. The topics to be reported here include (1) locations of their appearance and disappearance in terms of granular structure, (2) size and lifetime distribution, (3) spatial relationship between vertical and horizontal magnetic fields, (4) azimuth orientation of the horizontal field vector, (5) PDF (probability distribution function) of the intrinsic magnetic field strength. An extensive statistical survey reveals numbers of so far unknown unique and remarkable properties of THMFs, leading us to conclude that a local dynamo processes is responsible for THMFs.
