The frontal structures of extratropical cyclones developing in the northwestern Pacific storm track are relatively poorly understood compared with those in Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, for which representative conceptual models have been developed. In this paper, the structures of cyclones and their associated fronts in the northwestern Pacific (NP), as well as in the Okhotsk Sea and Sea of Japan (OJ), are examined at their developing and mature stages using Japanese 55-year Reanalysis dataset. Furthermore, the frontal structures in the NP are compared with those in the northwestern Atlantic (NA). At the time of maximum deepening rate, cyclones in the NP are accompanied by strong warm and cold fronts, whereas cyclones in the OJ are more frequently accompanied by cold fronts than by warm fronts and tend to have stronger cold fronts than warm fronts. The weaker warm fronts than cold fronts to the east and northeast of cyclones in the OJ is likely due to the cyclones developing to the north and away from the region where the horizontal gradient of environmental potential temperature is strong. A comparison between mature cyclones in the NP and NA shows that the warm fronts in the NA tend to extend northeastward, whereas those in the NP extend more southeastward. These differences in warm fronts between NP and NA are suggested to be due to the difference in the horizontal structures of the warm currents between NP and NA.
