The authors report the obervation of particle flux dropout events by the geostationary satellite GEOS-2 in the local dawn sector during the recovery phase of a series of magnetic storms. These dropouts manifested themselves both in ion and electron fluxes. During the events reported, the spacecraft remained in the magnetosphere, so they cannot be interpreted as due to maganetopause crossings.
