The two coretemp sensors (if working) are obvious, and nouveau I'd assume is the GPU temp. The rest from acpitz-virtual-0 are less clear. They approximately map out the same pattern, tracking system loading, with slightly different scaling factors.
Yes, that is probably what it is.
I didn't see any guidance in the FAQ on a general approach to reverse engineering the labeling for sensors. There must be a recommended approach for this.
You should be able to find out more by decoding the DSDT.
I did see in the FAQ that there is no database of configurations per motherboard/laptop, but I would expect that with all the temperature monitoring utilities for Windows, one or more of them likely has bundled configuration files that can be used as a reference. (If so, this sort of aggregated factual information could even be bulk converted to sensors.conf format legally.)
Would be great. Unfortunately, it appears that the creators of the various Windows utilities are not very enthusiastic about sharing the information they have. Part of it may be because they get at least some of the information under NDA, but at least some of them are simply not in a cooperative mind. Keep in mind that Windows is inherently a closed-source environment, and people's mindset in a closed-source world is a bit different.
