Abstract

This paper is devoted to considering the three-dimensional viscous primitive equations of the large-scale atmosphere. First, we prove the global well-posedness for the primitive equations with weaker initial data than that in [11]. Second, we obtain the existence of smooth solutions to the equations. Moreover, we obtain the compact global attractor in V for the dynamical system generated by the primitive equations of large-scale
atmosphere, which improves the result of [11].
