Short summary
We introduce an iterative Importance Sampling framework to optimize the Pelagic Interaction Scheme for Carbon and Ecosystem Studies (PISCES) model using 20 metrics from Biogeochemical-Argo data. Three strategies are compared: 29 main-effect, 66 including interaction effects, and all 95 parameters. All yield statistically indistinguishable skill gains, reducing error by 54–56 %. Optimizing all 95 parameters is recommended for comprehensive uncertainty quantification. The optimized set also improves skill in a three-dimensional regional simulation.
