Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 48, No. 1, pg. 37:
The Greenland tip jet is a sporadic jet stream of fierce winds on the lee side of Cape Farewell on the southern tip of Greenland. Using satellite data, graduate student Kjetil Våge compiled this image of a tip jet on Dec. 5, 2002. Color indicates wind speeds in meters per second; arrows indicate wind direction.
