The M20 Radiosonde is an ultra-lightweight upper-air instrument designed for PTU and wind measurements during atmospheric radiosounding. Weighing only 36 g, it can be operated without a parachute and is designed to reduce lifting-gas consumption by up to 20%. The M20 combines a heated humidity sensor, automatic preparation, multi-GNSS reception and an integrated barometer to support reliable upper-air observations. Its compact construction and compatibility with automated radiosounding systems make it suitable for operational meteorological sounding and other upper-air measurement applications.

Key Features

  • 36 g ultra-lightweight radiosonde
  • PTU and wind measurement capability
  • Heated humidity sensor to help limit saturation and icing
  • Multi-GNSS reception supporting GPS, Galileo and BeiDou
  • Built-in barometer for PTU continuity during severe GNSS disturbances
  • Fully automatic preparation including frequency change and verification
  • Compatible with Robotsonde automatic radiosonde systems
  • Optional XDATA inputs for compatible auxiliary sensors

The M20 combines multi-GNSS reception with an integrated barometer to support continuity of upper-air observations during severe GNSS disturbances. Its 36 g lightweight design allows operation without a parachute and is designed to reduce lifting-gas consumption by up to 20%. Compatibility with Robotsonde and XDATA-connected auxiliary sensors makes it suitable for both automated sounding and extended atmospheric measurement applications.
