Time histories of the development of the magnetosphere boundary following impact of a sharp-fronted plasma cloud and of the compression of the magnetosphere following impact by a discontinuity in the solar wind are calculated. Results are presented for initially planar discontinuities having their normals either aligned with or inclined 30° to the wind direction. Although several minutes are generally required for a discontinuity in the solar wind to sweep past the geophysically significant portion of the magnetosphere, it is found that any individual element of the magnetosphere boundary usually completes the major part of its adjustment to the new conditions within a period of about a minute.
