Abstract:

   The seasonal changes of anticyclone anomaly frequencies over the Mediterranean-Black Sea region for 1951 – 2012 is analyzed in the paper. The typical values of interannual anomalies and there linear trends were estimated. The contribution of linear trends of anticyclone anomaly frequencies into their total vari­ability is calculated.

Keywords: anticyclone, anomaly frequency, linear trend, the Mediterranean-Black Sea region.
