Definitely a weather station, but for more than the sub fleet. This was in the days before weather could be easily predicted via satellite photos of fronts moving in a given direction. Thus, these stations (the Allies had stations as well) were a key strategic asset for determining when military operations should take place.
IIRC, the defense force of Greenland took the highest per capita casualty rates of World War II. The reason is that they were a small force, and they had some bitter battles with German weather station personnel (who were more militarily oriented than their mission might suggest).
