Abstract
An apparatus is described to calibrate the sensitivity of several cesium clocks to temperature fluctuations. Analysis of USNO clock data has shown that control of the temperature range to within +1°C is sufficient for the attainment of an Allan deviation of a few parts in 10 14/day; cross-correlations with frequency were found only for temperature excursions that were significantly greater
