Abstract

In this article we present the classical primitive equations of the atmosphere, of the ocean, and of the coupled atmosphere and ocean. We also summarize a number of results concerning the well-posedness of the associated boundary and initial value problems, and concerning the long time behavior of the solutions (attractors and dynamical systems points of views).
