For Cyclone Larry to form in the Eastreern Coral see, the environment must have had the following properties. > > (Unknown Author, 2006, cyclone larry 2006, viewed 22/5/10, <[]>) > >
 * "Warm ocean waters (at least 80°F / 27°C) throughout a depth of about 150 ft. (46 m).
 * An atmosphere which cools fast enough with height such that it is potentially unstable to moist convection.
 * Relatively moist air near the mid-level of the troposphere (16,000 ft. / 4,900 m).
 * Generally a minimum distance of at least 300 miles (480 km) from the equator.
 * A pre-existing near-surface disturbance.
 * Low values (less than about 23 mph / 37 kph) of vertical wind shear between the surface and the upper troposphere. Vertical wind shear is the change in wind speed with height. "
