It is shown that the field of temperature gradients has no significant
anomalies (on spatial scales of 1000 x 1000 km2 for a network scale o
f 100 km) within the zones of natural spatial variations and within th
e time intervals preceding (up to 5 days) the onset of a tropical dist
urbance (TD), during the birth of the TD and after the TD leaves the p
lace where it was born.
