Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to study the optimal distributed control of the three-dimensional planetary geostrophic equations. We apply the well-posedness and regularity results proved in Cao and Titi (Commun Pure Appl Math 56:198–233, 2003) to establish the existence of an optimal control as well as the first-order necessary optimality condition for an associated optimal control problem in which a distributed control is applied to the temperature.
