Extreme winds over Greenland in the CARRA dataset

A dynamic downscaling of atmospheric flow over Greenland in the CARRA dataset is explored with emphasis on wind extremes.  Regions of frequent strong winds are defined and the dynamics dominating windstorms in these regions are brought to light by references to mechanisms of acceleration of stably stratified atmospheric flow above or in the vicinity of mountains and the interaction between the atmosphere and the heterogenous surface of the earth. Some of the jets are well known, such as the Cape Farewell Tip jet, while other jets have not received much, if any, attention by the meteorological community.  One of these undescribed jets is the NE-Greenland downslope wind in westerly flows.
