The paper is devoted to analysis of the cold half-year (October to March) frequency of cyclones in the Mediterranean-Black Sea region associated with the global processes in the ocean-atmosphere system -the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). Firstly, climatic conditions in the North Atlantic-European region during positive and negative phases of these global oscillations were shown using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data for 1948 -2016 and data of the NASA GIS
