AbstractThis article studies the global regularity problem of the two‐dimensional zero thermal diffusion tropical climate model with fractional dissipation, given by in the barotropic mode equation and by in the first baroclinic mode of the vector velocity equation. More precisely, we show that the global regularity result holds true as long as with . In addition, with no dissipation from both the temperature and the first baroclinic mode of the vector velocity, we also establish the global regularity result with the dissipation strength at the logarithmically supercritical level. Finally, our arguments can be extended to obtain the corresponding global regularity results of the higher dimensional cases.
