Outline

The International Symposium on Data Assimilation - Online (ISDA-Online) is a seminar series on the topic of Data Assimilation.

The 8th ISDA that was planned at Colorado State University for the summer of 2020 had to be postponed until the year 2022 due to Corona. In the meantime, the ISDA-Online seminar series provides a monthly platform for the exchange of new and exciting data assimilation research.

We, RIKEN Data Assimilation Research Team, publish recorded videos as a co-organizer.

Please see the details of the symposium at the main organizer's web site: ISDA-Onlie (University of Vienna).
