Actually, I'll correct myself here.

It's my understanding that the aim of cooling the sensor is to primarily reduce any heat-induced noise. A warmer sensor is more likely to convert thermal energy into a false signal within one of the sensor's electron wells.

The stable temperature means that your frames (light and calibration) are smoother (for lack of a better word) in terms of thermal noise.
