Narrative:
On right downwind, south and east of swf, in the vicinity of cliffs on the hudson river and in IMC conditions, we received a ground proximity 'whoop whoop - pull up' warning. I immediately climbed from 3000 to 5000'. Informed ATC who said descend to 2600' on same heading. We were given 2 right turns and handed via ILS on runway 09. Supplemental information from acn 161005: straight and level flight at 3000' MSL, about 8 mi south and west of field, aircraft GPWS output was, 'whoop-whoop, pull up.' captain followed company procedures for pull-up, while I told ATC about the altitude change to 500' MSL. Rest of flight uneventful.
