The plots only show the results of the first Z focus observation of each night. Data is shown for the previous 4 months (March, April, May, June) and for each receiver. A trend is apparent particularly in April (RxA & HARP) and May (HARP).

The temperature profile for a typical night shows the mean leg temperature reaches a maximum at ~19:00 then drops linearly until its minimum at ~07:00.

A least squared fit to this data has a slope of -0.031. The current value in the TCS of +0.11 will be adjusted appropriately to a value of +0.08. Data taken outside 19:00-08:00 will still benefit from this adjustment.
