Abstract Characteristic patterns of cyclogenesis in the southwest Pacific region are identified from a sample of 40 developing cyclones during 1990–94. Cases were chosen objectively to ensure a realistic sampling of typical rather than “ideal” events. A subjective classification based on synoptic-scale upper-tropospheric flow signatures prior to cyclone intensification suggested four classes into which all but three cases fell. Three categories, each containing about a quarter of the population, involved direct coupling with the upper jet. They represent cyclone formation beneath (i) the poleward exit region of a 300-hPa jet upstream from a diffluent trough (class U), (ii) the confluent equatorward entrance region of the upper wind maximum (E), and (iii) the upper jet exit region where the jet is downstream from the upper trough (class D). These are analogous to previously identified categories for the western North Atlantic region. A fourth class involved cyclones forming beneath a preexisting intense up...
