Attribute: SWE_METHOD

code		description
SWE001		Station snow course is used to calculate SWE; course consists of five snow cores taken along a transect at the station; snow depth is the average of sample core depths; insufficient snow or snow conditions may prevent SWE measurement
SWE002		Snow pillow course is used to calculate SWE; course consists of four snow cores taken near each corner of the snow pillow; snow depth is the average of sample core depths; insufficient snow or snow conditions may prevent SWE measurement
SWE003		Snow depth measured at four snow stakes positioned at each corner of the snow pillow is used in conjunction with snow density measured along the station snow course transect to calculate SWE; depth is average at snow stakes
