What is "cers"

CERS (Centre for Relationship Marketing and Service Management) is a research- and competence centre at the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, Finland. The centre operates in conjunction with the department of marketing, and specialises in research on service management and relationship marketing. There are currently 13 senior researchers and 35 doctoral students associated to CERS, of which one third are acting as full-time researchers. The centre is a part of the Helsinki Business Campus

The Cers, also called the Narbonnais by those who live southeast of Narbonne, is a very dry wind that is colder during the winter and warmer during the summer. Originating from moist Atlantic air-masses flowing across the Toulouse area, the Cers is intensified through the Lauragais gap. Cers winds are frequent across the Aude region in south-western France. Exceptionally red sunsets and lenticularis clouds usually herald the onset of the Cers. It is closely related to the Mistral, but the term Cers refers specifically to the very strong wind in the bas- Languedoc. The opposite to this wind type is the Marin a south east wind which occurs across the Iberian Peninsula.
