Earth Science Lectures at ICTP

ICTP stands for International Center for Theoretical Physics. The school is warranty of extremely high quality both in teaching and research. Looking at their product Eya for my using it in my classes, I saw their courses Tv. Among the many interesting things, to watch, there is a complete course on the Earth System that could be of interest also for hydrologist.  They derive from the

2014/2015 POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA COURSE IN EARTH SYSTEM PHYSICS

A collection of Classical and Historical Paper on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

were posted on the web by G.K Vallis of Princeton Exeter University and can be found here.  The collection includes PDFs about

History of Circulation or Dynamics

This section contains papers that give a historical account or interpretation of something, rather than being original research papers in themselves.

Atmospheric Dynamics

This section contains papers on atmospheric dynamic and circulation. The current emphasis is on large-scale phenomena and the general circulation.

Oceanic Dynamics

This section contains papers on oceanic dynamics and circulation. The current emphasis is on meso- and large-scale phenomena and the general circulation.

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

This section contains papers on dynamics in general, including geophysical fluid dynamics, turbulence theory, instabilities, etc., that is of interest to both oceanographers and atmospheric scientists. It includes papers by Coriolis, Kelvin, Taylor, Ertel, Rossby, Eady, Charney, Phillips, Welander and others.

Climate, Radiation etc

Contains just a very few (at the moment) papers on climate, radiation etc., that are not particularly dynamical. 

It could constitute a nice reading for many.
