- Mathematical and physical ideas for climate science (2013, methodology): “There is still not an accurate estimate of such a fundamental quantity for testing the output of climate models, despite the efforts of several authors (Fasullo and Trenberth, 2008; Mayer and Haimberger , 2012; Trenberth and Caron, 2001; Trenberth and Fasullo, 2010; Wunsch, 2005).”

Part I: Global Mean and Land–Ocean Exchanges (2008, background): “2) is thought to improve substantially upon previous estimates [summarized in Kiehl and Trenberth (1997) and Wunsch (2005)] by including CERES retrievals, by adjusting TOA fluxes to recent estimates of the global land and global ocean imbalances, and by including a consideration of the annual cycle…”
- The Annual Cycle of the Energy Budget. Part II: Meridional Structures and Poleward Transports (2008, methodology): “In contrast, Wunsch (2005) unrealistically treats the estimated error in the net radiation as random although meridional transports are constrained by the global balFIG.”
- Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “…contributes substantially to the meridional heat transport, with the strongest contribution in the tropics and about 30% contribution to the peak transport at 30∘N [Trenberth and Caron, 2001; Held, 2001; Wunsch, 2005; Czaja and Marshall, 2006] (see section 3.2 for equations used to calculate OHT).”
