On the basis of the reanalysis data with high spatial resolution and 36 years temporal coverage the spatial structure of wind speed and temperature fields in the Black Sea region for bora events in winter months was assessed. It is shown that bora development is followed by a formation of large-scale cyclonic circulation in the southeast part of the Black Sea. The airflow of the northwest edge of high Caucasus Mountains leads to the wind speed cyclonic vorticity over the sea; high Anatolian moun
