WATER VAPOR AND THE DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGES (2009, background): “The evaporation E enters the surface energy balance as the latent heat flux LE, which, in Earth’s present climate, is the largest loss term balancing the energy gained at the surface through absorption of solar radiation [Kiehl and Trenberth, 1997; Trenberth et al., 2009].”
The Observed State of the Energy Budget in the Early Twenty-First Century (2015, background): “Precipitation and evaporation, for example, are very similar to those reported by Trenberth et al. (2009), while sensible heating and DSR are in closer agreement with Stephens et al. (2012b).”
The ERA5 global reanalysis (2020, background): “For ERA5 a special effort was made to include state-of-the-art T A B L E 6 Global mean energy budgets (W ⋅ m−2) according to Trenberth et al., (2009), ERA-Interim and the ensemble mean of ERA-20CM, averaged from March 2000 to May 2004 for Trenberth et al., (2009), and from 1989 to 2008 for ERA5, ERA”
Simulation of Present-Day and Twenty-First-Century Energy Budgets of the Southern Oceans (2010, methodology): “At high latitudes, ASR is generally too large, particularly for the southern oceans, and this compensates somewhat for low-latitude biases in the global mean, although the global ASR bias is still strongly negative (Trenberth et al. 2009).”
An observationally based energy balance for the Earth since 1950 (2009, methodology): “Average global heat fluxes were described by Trenberth et al. [2009] .”
A Multisensor Perspective on the Radiative Impacts of Clouds and Aerosols (2013, result): “A value of 351.9 W m22 is obtained from the new 2BFLXHR-LIDAR product, closer to the more recent observational estimates (Stephens et al. 2012) than to those reported in Kiehl and Trenberth (1997) and Trenberth et al. (2009).”
The CNRM-CM5.1 global climate model: description and basic evaluation (2013, methodology): “The last column indicate the range of estimates reported in Trenberth et al. (2009) either based on the ERBE period (1985–1989) or on the CERES period (2000–2004) A.”
The physics of climate variability and climate change (2019, background): “The uxes on the left represent solar radiation in the visible and the ultraviolet, those on the right terrestrial radiation in the infrared, and those in the middle nonradiative uxes.

Comparison of Big‐Leaf, Two‐Big‐Leaf, and Two‐Leaf Upscaling Schemes for Evapotranspiration Estimation Using Coupled Carbon‐Water Modeling (2018, background): “It accounts for 60% of the terrestrial precipitation (Oki & Kanae, 2006) and consumes 50% of the solar energy absorbed by the land surface (Trenberth et al., 2009).”
