A time-dependent one-dimensional MHD theoretical model is tested by using plasma and magnetic field observations of Pioneer 9 and Pioneer 10 during the August 1972 events on the sun and in the interplanetary medium. These spacecraft were nearly aligned along a common heliocentric radius during these events, considered now to be the most spectacular and best-documented events during solar cycle 20. The observations of Pioneer 9 at 0.78 AU were used as input for the theoretical model. The plasma and magnetic field forcing functions were superimposed upon a preexisting ambient solar wind at this inner boundary, and the response was simulated as far as 8 AU. The simulated output at 2.2 AU is compared directly with the Pioneer 10 observations at 2.2 AU. Qualitative comparison is good, although several limitations of the one-dimensional theory are noted.
