Abstract: The initial boundary value problem for the two-dimensional primitive equations of largescale oceanic motion in geophysics is considered sequetially. Here the depth of the ocean is positive but not always a constant. By Faedo-Galerkin method and anisotropic inequalities, the existence and uniqueness of the global weakly strong solution and global strong solution for the problem are obtained. Moreover, by studying the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the above problem, the energy is exponential decay with time is proved.

Key words: primitive equations of the ocean, exponential decay, global strong solution, regularity
