SNOTEL Rice Park, NM (Dec, 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. The atmospheric measurements are generally reported multiple times per day
with some reporting hourly. System performance is usually above 99%.

基础型雪遥测（SNOTEL）站点通过压力感应式积雪垫（pressure-sensing snow pillow）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包含日最高、最低与平均值的气温数据。上述大气相关测量数据通常每日多次上报，部分站点支持逐小时上报。系统运行可靠率通常可达99%以上。
