Abstract
Developed cyclones and deeply occluded fronts are often found in polar regions. Observations of precipitating clouds associated with fronts and a cyclone were carried out in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, using a microwave radiometer and other meteorological instruments. Precipitating clouds to the north of a warm front were stratiform and held no liquid water. Precipitating clouds in and behind two occluded fronts and a cold front were convective clouds. Precipitating clouds in the centre of a cyclone were also convective, while precipitating clouds behind the cyclone were stratiform. Some clouds contained no liquid water, but others contained a substantial amount.
