Are the clouds along the cold front of the midlatitude cyclone (at about 45° N, 140° W) high clouds or low clouds? How can you tell?

The question is based on Figure 20-1, a visible light image of the northern Pacific Ocean and the west coast of North America, and Figure 20-2, an infrared image of the same region taken on the same day and time. A well-developed midlatitude cyclone is in the northern Pacific Ocean.
What will be an ideal response?


High clouds,Clouds appear white on the infrared image, so they are cold, high clouds.
