Context
Here are some plots following the meeting yesterday in which I mask some of the outermost GMOS bins to make the sigma profile in particular a bit more continuous.
As we talked about, theoutermost set of GMOS bins are really the problem children (in particular the corners), and masking out these datapoints in our plots improves how things look.
I actually think the best approach is to remove the "corners" from the GMOS data, as well as two other bins on the permieter, and the two innermost Mitchell bins. The resulting radial profile for sigma in particular looks quite nice, and we barely lose any spatial coverage while still maintaining a continous curve for sigma. These profiles are in the final bullet.
Plots
First, here are some plots without any masks applied. This is what we have been looking at these past few meetings.

One-sided radial plot
Two-sided radial plot
Here's a version where I mask only the bins at the "corners" of the GMOS data. I think this is certainly better, but there are two more bins which I am in favor of removing which are shown in the next bullet.

And here's a version where the GMOS corners are removed, as well as two more bins along the perimeter which have sigmas slightly below the Mitchell data. I think that this is the best version of the GMOS masking.

And lastly, here's what I think ends up looking the best -- this has the GMOS corners masked, as well as the two additional bins along the perimeter. I also masked the two innermost Mitchell bins, and this GREATLY improves how the radial profiles appear.
