Abstract: We establish the existence and uniqueness of both local martingale and local pathwise solutions of an abstract nonlinear stochastic evolution system. The primary application of this abstract framework is to infer the local existence of strong, pathwise solutions to the 3D primitive equations of the oceans and atmosphere forced by a nonlinear multiplicative white noise. Instead of developing our results specifically for the 3D primitive equations we choose to develop them in a slightly abstract framework which covers many related forms of these equations (atmosphere, oceans, coupled atmosphere-ocean, on the sphere, on the {�eta}-plane approximation etc and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations). In applications, all of the details are given for the {�eta}-plane approximation of the oceans equations.


The authors develop a local existence theory for a class of abstract stochastic evolution systems of the form \(dU+(AU+B(U,U)+F(U))dt=\sigma(U)dW,\;U(0)=U_0\), where \(A:\;D(A)\subset H\to H\) is an unbounded densely-defined bijective operator such that \((AU,U^{\sharp})=((U,U^{\sharp}))\) for all \(U,U^{\sharp}\in D(A)\). Here, \(V\subset H\) is a pair of separable Hilbert spaces such that the embedding is dense and compact; \(B\) is assumed to be a bilinear form mapping \(V\times D(A)\) continuously to \(V'\) and \(D(A)\times D(A)\) continuously to \(H\); \(F:\;[0,\infty)\times V\to H\), \(\sigma:\;[0,\infty)\times H\to L_2({\mathcal U},H)\) -- here, \({\mathcal U}\) is an auxiliary Hilbert space and \(L_2({\mathcal U},H)\) is the collection of Hilbert-Schmidt operators between \({\mathcal U}\) and \(H\); \(W\) is a cylindrical Brownian motion evolving over \({\mathcal U}\). A Galerkin scheme for the considered equation is studied. Using an appropriate cut-off function in the formulation of the equation, uniform a priori estimates for the corresponding sequence of approximate solutions are established. An outline of the compactness arguments that lead to the local existence of martingale solutions is presented. Conditions for pathwise uniqueness are established. Additional criteria for convergence in probability are presented. As application, all details are given for the \(\beta\)-plane approximation of the equations of the ocean.
