SNOTEL Quemazon, NM (June, 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%.基础型雪测遥站（SNOTEL）通过压力传感式雪枕采集积雪含水量数据，同时可获取雪深、全季降水累积量，以及日最高、最低与平均气温等数据。多数增强型雪测遥站额外配备了多深度土壤湿度与温度监测设备。大气监测数据，以及已部署相关传感器的站点所采集的土壤湿度、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。任意增强型雪测遥站均可加装水质传感器等其他类型传感器。系统整体性能达标率通常高于99%。
