High
spatial and temporal resolutions of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) on board Hinode enabled us to capture fast dynamic phenomena
caused by flux emergence. One such phenomenon may be a chromospheric running wave from a
rotating magnetic polarity region with a size of > 5,000 km (hereafter, solar cyclone which was compared to a cyclone on the Earth). A possible mechanism for
producing the running wave was investigated with a three-dimensional
magnetohydrodynamic simulation of an emerging twisted flux tube. The simulation showed that the solar cyclone produced an arc-shaped chromospheric region with enhanced plasma density in front of the cyclone, which propagated outward from the core of the cyclone where a strong downdraft was generated along magnetic field lines locally standing vertical.
