Narrative:
Landed flaps 15 instead of planned 30. At the final approach fix I called for gear down flaps 15 landing checklist. The captain configured the jet and ran the checklist. At about 1;400 feet I called for flaps 30 set target. At that moment we were cleared to land by tower. I did not verify that they went down; I was concentrating on the significant crosswind. At about 50 feet we got the too low terrain. I verified that we were on glide path. 2 white 2 red. And continued. After landing I realized we landed flaps 15 and that was the reason for the ground proximity warning system (GPWS) alert.
