Notes concerning energy balance are available in this text file ... https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/support/FAQ/energy_balance . (This link is public; I confirmed it can be found via Google.) Total energies in glstat include the eroded energies, so the energy balance checking takes erosion into account.
