Scientific paper
Greenland lies in close proximity to the North Atlantic storm track, and as such can be a point of strong orographic interaction with atmospheric flow. For several years now, it has been known that the interaction of synoptic scale cyclones with Greenland's orography can spawn localized high wind speed events, known as tip jets off its southernmost point. Climatologies of these events have shown that tip jets can have either a westerly (normal) or easterly (reverse) sense. In this paper, we present the first simulation of a reverse tip jet presenting an examination of the air-sea interaction that occurs during this event. The strength of this interaction demonstrates the potential influence that these events can have on the region's surface and abyssal oceanic circulation.
