SNOTEL Bateman, NM (Nov, 2016)

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%.基础型雪水当量遥测站（SNOTEL）通过压感式雪枕采集雪层含水量数据。该站点同时采集雪深、全季节降水累积量以及日最高、最低与平均气温数据。多数增强型SNOTEL站点还配备了可开展不同深度土壤湿度与温度观测的装置。大气观测数据以及已配套安装土壤湿度、温度传感器的站点观测数据，通常每日多次上报，部分站点可实现逐小时报送。诸如水质传感器在内的其他传感器，可加装至任意增强型SNOTEL站点。系统运行有效率通常可达99%以上。
