Regression coefficients derived by Llewellyn‐Jones for the split‐ and triple‐window methods of correcting satellite‐derived sea surface temperatures for atmospheric attenuation are examined for consistency with values expected from physical rather than statistical constraints. In this instance, the agreement between physical and statistical approaches is remarkably good. the insight that results from physical considerations illustrates the similarity of coefficients that, from a statistical point of view, appear to be quite different.
