The International Symposium on Data Assimilation - Online (ISDA-Online) recently marked its third anniversary as a connecting online platform for advancing research and fostering international collaboration. ISDA-Online is a seminar series on the topic of Data Assimilation. With core organizers from Germany, Japan, the United States, Mexico, and Austria, ISDA-Online has become a global hub for exchanging ideas and insights.

Over the past three years, ISDA-Online has organized 19 events featuring 93 presentations, with 88 recorded for wider accessibility. These presentations cover diverse data assimilation topics, offering researchers valuable insights into cutting-edge methodologies and applications.

ISDA-Online has attracted an average of 75 participants per event, comprising experts, students, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world. In total, ISDA-Online has attracted around 1,400 attendees accumulated over the course of its three-year journey. This large and diverse community of attendees highlights the symposium's impact and relevance in advancing the field of data assimilation.

Two researchers from the University of Vienna (Dr. Tobias Necker & Prof. Dr. Martin Weissmann) are among the core organizers and scientific advisors of the seminar series. Furthermore, colleagues from the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics contributed several presentations about their exciting research on: the influence of observations (link to Dr. Philipp Griewanks's talk), a Lagrangian re-analysis dataset (link to Dr. Lucie Bakel’s talk) and inverse modeling of greenhouse gases (link to Martin Vojta's talk)

By leveraging virtual platforms, ISDA-Online transcends geographical limitations and creates a vibrant global network of researchers united in their commitment to advancing the field.
