<p>I'm aware that PDEs, linear algebra, numerical analysis and such are staples of most applied mathematical endeavors. I want to know if there are other areas of "higher" mathematics that have useful applications in climate science (like topology, measure theory, Riemannian geometry, etc) or whether the things I mentioned first are the only really important ones. Thanks. </p>
