I think PCA could be helpful depending on the motions in your system. I
would suggest that you carry out a single PCA analysis on the full
trajectory data including all temperatures though. If you do pca separately
it is difficult to compare them. Then you can project each temperature
separately, using the same vectors.
See this tutorial:
