Energy Conservation for 3D Tropical Climate Model in Periodic Domains

In this paper, we prove the energy conservation for the weak solutions of the 3D tropical climate model under some sufficient conditions. Our results are similar to Onsager’s conjecture which is on energy conservation for weak solutions of Euler equations.

A regularity criterion for a 2D tropical climate model with fractional dissipation

Tropical climate model derived by Frierson et al. (Commun Math Sci 2:591–626, 2004) and its modified versions have been investigated in a number of papers [see, e.g., Li and Titi (Discrete Contin Dyn Syst Series A 36(8):4495–4516, 2016), Wan (J Math Phys 57(2):021507, 2016), Ye (J Math Anal Appl 446:307–321, 2017) and more recently Dong et al. (Discrete Contin Dyn Syst Ser B 24(1):211–229, 2019)]. Here, we deal with the 2D tropical climate model with fractional dissipative terms in the equation of the barotropic mode u and in the equation of the first baroclinic mode v of the velocity, but without diffusion in the temperature equation, and we establish a regularity criterion for this system.
