A new version of a self-consistent model of ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling is presented. It is based on a kinetic description of the transport of hot protons and electrons in the earth's magnetosphere, including their precipitation into the auroral ionosphere. Anisotropy of the pitch-angle distribution is also taken into account for these particles. The influence of spatial inhomogeneity of the height-integrated Pedersen and Hall ionospheric conductivities on the electric fields and currents in the magnetosphere and ionosphere is studied. These conductivities are calculated as functions of the precipitated auroral electron fluxes and solar zenith angle. Comparison of the results with experimental data is carried out.
