It's a bit difficult to answer without knowing the context of your question, but I'm pretty sure the answer you're looking for is

geostrophic currents.

I wouldn't wanna be in a club that wouldn't let me in...

I am assuming that your project is dealing with wind and ocean currents... The horozontal and vertical circulation of ocen waters are called currents.  Major causes of ocean currents include wind friction, gravity, and variation in water density in different parts of the ocean.  Here is some more information for you.  I hope this helps.

The wind is directly responsive to the pressure of the air. 

But, the ocean's current is responsive to the pull of the moon on the earth's water.  This controls the tides and when the high and low tides occur.
