I have as a variable the temperature at a given depth and longitude, so it is a vector (317,1) where the 317 are all latitudes.
How do I get the gradient of this variable (which I call T) knowing that the latitude grid is irregular?
I can try
gradient_T=gradient(T,e1v) where e1v is the irregular vector?

The gradient function assumes a fixed step size for the second argument.
The way I calculate the numerical derivative using an irregular grid for the reference (assuming vectors here) is:
gradient_T = gradient(T) ./ gradient(e1v);
That will essentially calculate
and generally produces the result I want.

You can give the positions of the corresponding values as the second function argument. In your case the lattitude for each temperature measurement.
temperature = [30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23];
latitude = [1 2 3 4 5 10 11 20];
T = gradient(temperature, latitude)
