What are the 3 temperatures (composite and sensorsensors) reported by a WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe?

I have a WD_BLACK SN770 SSD NVMe that may be running too hot under load.

So to monitor it, I installed Western Digital Dashboard and it reports 3 temperatures:

Western Digital Dashboard

Libre Hardware Monitor reports 3 temperatures too:

Western Digital Dashboard shows the Composite temperature on the "State" dashboard, so it looks like this is the temperature that is used to detect overheating.

But whatThe question: What are "Composite Temperature", "Temperature Sensor 1" and "Temperature Sensor 2"? I can't find any explanation anywhere. I would like to know where the probes located on the NVMe device.
