During 4 decades, from 1950 to 1990, atmospheric electricity measurements as well as other environmental measurements were made by Reinhold Reiter at several sites close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The quantities determined included the atmospheric potential gradient, the vertical current, and the ion concentrations. Observations made at the Mount Wank site (47∘30′ N, 11∘09′ E; 1780 m) from 1 August 1972 to 31 December 1983 are available in digital form.
