I have been calling these a 'clockwise gyre'. That's because most of them are caused by wind shear. There is a perfect example by California.
There, you have cold wind streams zooming by each other, stirring the pot, so to speak. A normal hurricane is driven by heat in the centre, creating an amazing double turbine. For Greenland, you have an intensely cold centre, and I have no idea of the mechanics. The warmer air must come in and dive, but details escape me.
Now that the warmies in "The big n's" are toast, I still don't expect any physics. I suppose everybody will be just sitting around, doing nothing.
