During the last decade many efforts were concentrated on the study of pressure distribution in the inner magnetosphere. Direct measurements of ion distribution functions in the plasma sheet and another magnetospheric regions allowed to obtain the plasma pressure in situ. These results also reveal the average distribution of pressure in the magnetosphere which turns out to be similar to the statistical results obtained from the low-altitude polar orbiting satellites. In addition, the short time of passage of low-altitude polar orbiting satellites - like Aureol-3 - through the auroral zone allows us to obtain the quasi instantaneous radial and azimuthal distribution of pressure in the magnetosphere. To do so we take into account the transformation of the particle distribution functions by the field-aligned potential drops and map the satellite positions to the equatorial plane using geomagnetic field models. This technique allows us to study the changes in magnetospheric pressure associated with a wide class of phenomena including substorms.
