In this paper we introduce and study the primitive equations with $\textit{non}$-isothermal turbulent pressure and transport noise. They are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations by employing stochastic versions of the Boussinesq and the hydrostatic approximations.

The sea ice equations are considered on the whole plane, while the primitive equations are studied on layer domains of the shape the primitive equations with nonlinear equations of state in [7]. The situation of an infinite layer domain for the primitive equations was also considered by Giga, Gries, Hieber, Hussein and Kashiwabara [22], where the authors study the primitive equations in the scaling-invariant space L ∞ (L 1 ), and by Hussein, Saal and Sawada [29], where the primitive equations with linearly growing initial data in the horizontal direction are investigated. ...
... On the other hand, the structure of vector fields in exterior domains is more complicated than that in bounded domains. In our previous paper [8,Theorem 2.4], we proved that every b ∈ L r ( ) for 3/2 < r < 3 with div b = 0 in the sense of distributions in admits a unique representation b = h + rot w, (1.3) where h ∈ L r ( ) is a harmonic vector field and w ∈Ḣ 1,r ( )(Ḣ 1,r ( ) denotes homogeneous Sobolev space). In the present paper, we first show that although there are infinitely many solenoidal extensions b into of β j on j , j = 1, . . . ...
... The rigorous mathematical justification of the small aspect ratio from the Navier-Stokes equtions to the primitive equations, i.e., hydrostatic approximation, was studied in [1], where the weak convergences were established. The strong convergences, which are global and uniform in time, and the convergence rate were established in [29] and [15] by different ways. ...
... [18,27] and also [17,23,26,29], where in particular for applications in fluid mechanics semigroup theory plays an important role, cf. [22]. For a similar approach where the stationary part is treated separately, and in particular applications to quasi-and semilinear problems see also the works of Kyed and co-authors, cf. ...
... Sometimes we will refer to the noise in (1.5) as the general noise. The noise of this type is consistent with the one typically used in the abstract theory of SPDEs by Da Prato and Zabczyk [7,8] when studying the long time behavior and invariant measures for stochastic PDEs, both in local [23][24][25] and nonlocal [11] settings. ...
... As we know, in a simply connected domain, a smooth irrotational vector field is a grad field. Although two-dimensional exterior domain is not simply connected, Kozono and his collaborators has established similar results in [19]. Lemma 3.4 (see [19]) The following equations ...
... This approach is based on the analysis of the hydrostatic Stokes operator and the corresponding hydrostatic Stokes semigroup. For a survey on results concerning the deterministic primitive equations using energy estimates, we refer to [38] and for a survey concerning the approach based on evolution equations to [29]. ...
... In relation to the existence of periodic solutions, there are some relevant recent papers. For example, in [32], M. Hieber et al. prove the periodic version of the Da Prato-Grisvard theorem as well as its extension to semi-linear evolution equations. That is to say, from this outcome they proved the existence of strong T -periodic solution of the bidomain model, that is, in the context of the corresponding abstract evolution problem. ...
