Essentials of Atmospheric and Oceanic Dynamics
This is a modern, introductory textbook on the dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean, with a healthy dose of geophysical fluid dynamics. It will be invaluable for intermediate to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology, oceanography, mathematics, and physics. It is unique in taking the reader from very basic concepts to the forefront of research. It also forms an excellent refresher for researchers in atmospheric science and oceanography. It differs from other books at this level in both style and as well as very basic material it includes some elementary introductions to more advanced topics. The advanced sections can easily be omitted for a more introductory course, as they are clearly marked in the text. Readers who wish to explore these topics in more detail can refer to this book's parent, Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation, now in its second edition.

A highly technical book, but presented in fairly small mathematical steps, making it readable for the average physics or maths graduate. Some of the results were surprising and new to me, but it was also interesting to explore the phenomena I'd heard of with more mathematical rigour.
The book contained a short section on planetary weather which was a real icing on the cake.
