SNOTEL Senorita Divide #2, NM (Sept, 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SNOTEL（Snow Telemetry）站点通过压感式雪枕采集雪层含水量数据。该站点同时收集雪深、全季降水累积量，以及包含日最高、日最低与日平均值的气温观测数据。多数增强型SNOTEL站点还可在不同深度开展土壤湿度与温度监测。大气观测数据，以及已部署的土壤湿度、土壤温度观测数据通常每日多次上报，部分站点可实现每小时一次的上报频率。所有增强型SNOTEL站点均可加装水质传感器等额外传感器。该系统的整体运行性能通常高于99%。
