Just to provide some perspective: With a 100 second instrument using a
spring having a temperature coefficient (of elasticity) of -240 ppm/deg C,
you will see a 1um/sec output shift--perhaps two lines on your
helicorder plot, from a temperature change rate of 6 milli-degrees C 
per hour.

Insulation is good.

I think adding the 50 second high-pass will reduce that effect considerably,
though rapid, small, temperature changes will still look big at the output.

Good luck,
