You have a digital temperature sensor placed in a research aquarium to monitor the water temperature over several weeks. The sensor occasionally picks up electrical interference, creating random spikes in the data. The aquarium's heating and cooling system also causes slow, gradual temperature fluctuations throughout the day. You need to process this data to get a smooth, accurate representation of the overall temperature trend while removing the noise spikes. Which type of simple filter will help manage the noise in this system?
