                         from the outer radiation belt. We investigate these mechanisms, 
                         using satellite observations both in interplanetary space and 
                         within the magnetosphere and particle drift modeling. Two 
                         interplanetary shocks/sheaths impinged upon the magnetopause 
                         causing a relativistic electron flux dropout. The magnetic cloud 
                         (MC) and interplanetary structure sunward of the MC had primarily 
                         northward magnetic field, perhaps leading to a concomitant lack of 
                         substorm activity and a 10 daylong quiescent period. The arrival 
                         of two shocks caused an unusual electron flux dropout.

                         L\≥5.5 can be lost to the magnetosheath via magnetopause 
                         shadowing alone. For electron losses at lower L-shells, coherent 
                         chorus wave-driven pitch angle scattering and ULF wave-driven 
                         radial transport have been shown to be viable mechanisms.",
