coriolis effect
wind blowing over the surface of the sea causes friction at the interface between air and sea. not only does this cause waves to form but it also makes the surface seawater move in the same direction as the wind. although winds are variable, in any one place they predominantly blow from a single direction and thus a surface current can be formed. westerly winds are most frequent in the mid-latitudes while easterlies dominate the tropics. when water moves in this way, other water flows in to fill the gap and a circular movement of surface currents known as a gyre is formed. there are five main gyres in the world's oceans: two in the pacific, two in the atlantic and one in the indian ocean. other smaller gyres are found in lesser seas and a single gyre flows around antarctica. these gyres have followed the same routes for millennia, guided by the topography of the land, the wind direction and the coriolis effect. the surface currents flow in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere. the water moving away from the equator is warm, and that flowing in the reverse direction has lost most of its heat. these currents tend to moderate the earth's climate, cooling the equatorial region and warming regions at higher latitudes. global climate and weather forecasts are powerfully affected by the world ocean, so global climate modelling makes use of ocean circulation models as well as models of other major components such as the atmosphere, land surfaces, aerosols and sea ice. ocean models make use of a branch of physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, that describes the large-scale flow of fluids such as seawater.

cps's other major product was central point anti-virus (cpav), whose main competitor was norton antivirus. cpav was a licensed version of "carmel software"'s "turbo anti-virus"; cps, in turn, licensed cpav to microsoft to create microsoft antivirus for dos (msav) and windows (mwav).
