SNOTEL Bateman, NM (July, 2017)

The basic SNOTEL station provides snowpack water content data via a
pressure-sensing snow pillow. It also collects data on snow depth, all-season
precipitation accumulation, and air temperature with daily maximums, minimums, and
averages. Many of the enhanced SNOTEL stations are also equipped to take soil
moisture and temperature measurements at various depths. The atmospheric and, where
installed, soil moisture and soil temperature measurements are generally reported
multiple times per day with some reporting hourly. Other sensors such as water
quality sensors can be added to any of the enhanced SNOTEL stations. System
performance is usually above 99%.

基础型雪遥测站（SNOTEL）通过压力式雪枕采集积雪含水量数据。该站点同时采集积雪深度、全季降水累积量以及日最高、最低和平均气温数据。
多数增强型雪遥测站还配备了多深度土壤湿度与温度测量装置。
大气观测数据以及已安装相关传感器的站点所采集的土壤湿度与土壤温度数据，通常每日多次上报，部分站点可实现逐小时报送。
任意一台增强型雪遥测站均可加装水质传感器等其他类型传感器。
系统运行可靠率通常高于99%。
