The detailed analysis of the interaction between the integral concentration of equatorial water vapor field and Francisco (2001) tropical cyclone in basin of the North-western Pacific ocean during all stages of TC life using radically advanced data base EVA-01 with elements of the object-relation type. It was experimentally shown that the individual fragment fields of integral water vapor have been obtained using the grid 3-D surfaces technology. In this case it was experimentally shown that the "domes" of heightened intensity of water vapor with the intricate space shapes. The possible physical mechanism for forming water vapor domes may be convective columns in TC cloud fields.
Keywords: tropical cyclones; integral water vapor field; boundary geophysical genesis parameters
