1. process_cmip_rf.m is a matlab script that reads a single file, generates a random forest using the parameters in the associated paper and computes permutation importance and sensitivities. Note- in order to get process_cmip_rf.m to work as written you must have the Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox installed on Matlab and download the table_modis.asc file below. 

Files 2-16 are tabular filew containing all datapoints used in Random Forest analysis for the NCAR CESM2 model. Columns are

              1. Index of point, enabling a mapping back to the model grid if the resolution is known.

              2. Longitude

              3. Latitude

              4. Month

              5. Iron in mol/m³.

              6. Mixed layer in m.

              7. Ammonia in mol/m³

              8. Nitrate in mol/m³.

              9. Phytoplankton carbon in mol/m³.

              10. Phosphate in mol/m³.

              11. Shortwave radiation (net solar radiation at ocean surface in W/m²).

              12. Silicate in mol/m³.

              13. Salinity in PSU

              14. Temperature in C.

              15. Upwelling velocity in m/s.

If variable is not included in the dataset, the column will be filled with zeros.
