The results of numerical simulations aimed at dynamic downscaling the ERA-Interim reanalysis data for the Black Sea-Caspian region using the RegCM4 climate model are described. The downscaling results in reconstruction of the atmospheric circulation fields in the region with the increased spatial resolution (2525 km) for 1979-2013. The modeling results are compared with the original largescale fields with the purpose to validate the regional model. The analysis shows that the model correctly rep
