Abstract
In this paper, we consider the long-time dynamics for the primitive equations of large-scale dry atmosphere. First, by energy methods, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions of the problem. Second, by studying the long-time behavior of strong solutions, we construct a global attractor which captures all the trajectories.
