Results of a comprehensive computer simulation of the behavior of the earth's inner magnetosphere during a substorm-type event are reported. It is pointed out that the computer model self-consistently computes electric fields, currents, and plasma distributions and velocities in the inner-magnetosphere/ionosphere system; parallel electric fields and ionospheric neutral winds, however, are not included. The basic equations of the model are derived, and the inputs are described. An overview of the results is also given. The first appendix contains derivations of general, useful laws of bounce-averaged gradient, curvature, and E x B drifts in a plasma with isotropic pitch angle distribution. The second appendix gives a description of the numerical method used in the simulation.
