SNOTEL Tolby, NM (July, 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%.

基础型雪情遥测站（SNOTEL）通过压力感应式雪枕（snow pillow）采集雪层含水量数据。该站点还可获取雪深、全年累积降水量，以及包含日最高、最低和日平均数值的气温观测数据。上述大气相关测量参数通常每日多次上报，部分站点可实现逐时上报。系统运行可用率通常可达99%以上。
