Abstract: Recently, it has been proposed that the Navier-Stokes equations and a relevant linear advection model have the same long-time statistical properties, in particular, they have the same scaling exponents of their structure functions. This assertion has been investigate rigorously in the context of certain nonlinear deterministic phenomenological shell model, the Sabra shell model, of turbulence and its corresponding linear advection counterpart model. This relationship has been established through a "homotopy-like" coefficient lambda which bridges continuously between the two systems. That is, for lambda=1 one obtains the full nonlinear model, and the corresponding linear advection model is achieved for lambda=0. In this paper, we investigate the validity of this assertion for certain stochastic phenomenological shell models of turbulence driven by an additive noise. We prove the continuous dependence of the solutions with respect to the parameter lambda. Moreover, we show the existence of a finite-dimensional random attractor for each value of lambda and establish the upper semicontinuity property of this random attractors, with respect to the parameter lambda. This property is proved by a pathwise argument. Our study aims toward the development of basic results and techniques that may contribute to the understanding of the relation between the long-time statistical properties of the nonlinear and linear models.
