Short summary
We developed a three-dimensional lower-trophic-level marine ecosystem model (NSI-MEM) and employed biological data assimilation using a micro-genetic algorithm to estimate physiological parameters for two phytoplankton functional types in the western North Pacific. The NSI-MEM optimized by the data assimilation improved the timing of a modelled plankton bloom in the subarctic and subtropical regions compared to the model without data assimilation.
