It's not for the feint of heart, but I really enjoy it.

[ ] Landau and Lifshitz Statistical Physics
[ ] Walter Greiner, Ludwig Neise, Horst Stocker, Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics. Springer, 1995.

[ ] Landau and Lifshitz Fluid Mechanics
[X] J.E. Marsden and Alexandre Chorin, A Mathematical Introduction to Fluid Mechanics. Third ed., Springer, 1993.
[ ] V. Arnol'd Topological Methods in Hydrodynamics

[ ] Jiyuan Tu, Guan-Heng Yeoh, Chaqun Liu, Computational Fluid Dynamics. CUP, third edition. A really great introduction to CFD as a 6-step process.
- Zan Xu, Léopold Cambier, Juan J. Alonso, Eric Darve, "Towards a Scalable Hierarchical High-order CFD Solver". arXiv:2101.01763, 14 pages.
[ ] Roger Temam, Navier-Stokes Equations: Theory and Numerical Analysis. AMS Chelsea Publishing, 1977. Focuses on steady-state solutions.

[ ] G.P. Galdi, An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of the Navier-Stokes Equations: Steady-State Problems. Springer, second ed., 2011. This is probably the most authoritative reference for the special case of steady-flow solutions.
[ ] Roger Taman, Navier-Stokes equations: theory and numerical analysis. North-Holland press, 1979.

[ ] John Marshall and R. Alan Plumb, Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate Dynamics: an Introductory Text.
[ ] Kendal McGuffie, Ann Henderson-Sellers, A Climate Modelling Primer
[ ] J. David Neelin, Climate Change and Climate Modeling. CUP, 2011. Discusses El Nino.
[ ] Luc Tartar, An Introduction to Navier Stokes Equation and Oceanography. Springer 2006
[ ] Geoffrey K. Vallis, Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics_ Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation. Cambridge University Press, 2017. (The first two parts [13 chapters] are about fluid dynamics, the remaining two parts [9 chapters] are about the climate.)
- If I were to write a book on climate science, it would probably resemble this gem.
[ ] Thomas Tomkins Warner, Numerical Weather and Climate Prediction. CUP, 2010.
