Through quantitative analysis, we determined that both the AMFS and the length of the magnetic field line (LMF) significantly affect predawn heating. We found that an increased AMFS intensifies predawn heating, while an increased LMF counteracts it. Our research indicates that the optimal conditions for peak predawn heating occur at an AMFS of approximately 30 degrees and an LMF of about 4000 km, where the effect surpasses 400 K. Additionally, we observed that the effects of both the AMFS and the LMF on predawn heating exhibit a saturation effect. This study provides a clearer understanding of the factors driving predawn ionospheric heating, with implications for topside ionosphere research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16203809","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T07:47:05Z","timestamp":1728892025000},"page":"3809","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Study on the Predawn Ionospheric Heating Effect and Its Main Controlling Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zhenzhang","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5989-1720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huijun","family":"Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Heillongjiang Mohe National Observatory of Geophysics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5773-0184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Libo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Heillongjiang Mohe National Observatory of Geophysics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"given":"Yiding","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Beijing National Observatory of Space Environment, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"given":"Ruilong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Heillongjiang Mohe National Observatory of Geophysics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5592-728X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenbo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Heillongjiang Mohe National Observatory of Geophysics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"given":"Wendong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earth and Planetary Physics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Institutions of Earth Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5483","DOI":"10.1029\/JA075i028p05483","article-title":"Plasma measurements with the retarding potential analyzer on Ogo 6","volume":"75","author":"Hanson","year":"1970","journal-title":"J.
