To eliminate effects of changing ambient air temperature and solar loading, we thermally stabilize the internal optics of our instruments to above ambient temperature, between 38 C and 45 C, depending on the instrument. The exact temperature is not as important as knowing that the temperature is stable and has been stable since the most recent calibration.
