The shape of the magnetosphere has been calculated self-consistently for inclinations of the Earth's magnetic dipole from perpendicular to the solar wind. Inclination angles of 0-35° have been chosen in steps of 5° and various smooth trends in the surface characteristics with increasing inclination angle noted. The surface points and the complete field at the surface points have been calculated for the entire surfaces. The neutral point region has been given precise study in one degree steps and is found to be tangent to the solar wind velocity and to have a smooth continuous curvature. The inclusion of the Earth's bow shock pressure and other sources of current have not been included at this stage of our program.
