What weather stations were in Greenland during World War II?

Following the fall of Denmark in April 1940, Greenland became an unoccupied territory of an occupied nation. From 1941 until 1945, the United States established extensive military facilities on the island, which included weather stations, radio stations, and air and sea traffic infrastructure.
