Roadmap to v1.0

[AlexisRenchon]

• Global simulations: stable & fast New evaporation scheme #732, Add implicit tendency for canopy temperature #675
• Calibration: framework in place Add a calibration tutorial for single site perfect model  #621
• Documentation: quality & comprehensive ClimaLand documentation to do list #745
• Snow model Snow-Soil model #629

Issues I think we can close before the release
Documentation:

• Fix documentation: stable is outdated #681 - @AlexisRenchon - documentation (check if this closes issue Documentation for tagged version is not produced/saved #499?)
• Docs overhaul! #240 - All - documentation or close if duplicate
• Add model usage tutorial #296 - @kmdeck - documentation

Scientific improvements:

• The respiration scheme should use max LAI over the year #657 - ? - easy fix for scientific improvement
• Moisture factor #655 - ? - easy fix for scientific improvement
• Roundoff error in two stream scheme #645 - @kmdeck - easy fix for scientific improvement
• Spatially varying biogeochemistry #671 - @kmdeck - required, also closes O2.5.2 Respiration model parameters inconsistent with soil model parameters #594
• O2.1.2 Integrate snow model with soil and canopy model #630 - @kmdeck - snow model integrated with soil/canopy - see also Add standalone snow model #146
• Close remaining issues remaining for big leaf #597 - @kmdeck - required

Refactoring:

• Add parameters to CLIMAParameters #326
• Refactor "Prescribed Soil" for canopy and biogeochemistry #674 -@kmdeck - refactoring to make code design better
• O2.5.2 Respiration model parameters inconsistent with soil model parameters #594 - @kmdeck - can be taken care of in 671
• Check consistency of parameters for integrated models #611 - @Sbozzolo - easy fix for consistency
• Canopy Biomass model #600 - @AlexisRenchon and @kmdeck - nice feature and clarifies where LAI/SAI/RAI are stored
• Make it easier to "turn off" the canopy #250 - @kmdeck - nice to have
• Remove ArtifactsWrappers and document artifacts #580 - @Sbozzolo - good to have
• Pass the comms in; do not relay on internal ClimaCore comms values #316 - easy fix
• Reduce allocations and resolution dependence in how we get surface values from a center field #615 - easy fix

Implicit stepping

• add implicit tendency for EnergyHydrology energy #663 - @kmdeck - implicit tendency for energy hydrology . See also issue O2.3.6 Implicit solver for full soil model #135
• Unify jacobian/tendency naming convention #660 - @kmdeck
• Generalize variable names in Jacobian initialization #661 @kmdeck

Global runs:

• Add global soil/canopy run forced by ERA5 data, with 1 degree resolution and reading in data every 3 hours #644 - All - Global run on GPU
• Experiment scripts and plots for Paper I - Intro to land model #608 - All - plots for experiments in the paper
• O2.6.4 Spatially varying parameters - Canopy model #596 - All - required
• O2.3.5 Enable global runs (on GPU) #398 - All (closing issues above should close this)
• O2.4.2: Use ClimaDiagnostics #583 - @AlexisRenchon - required
• Reduce allocations in divf2c #687
• Figure out NaNs - (a) if we make ac_canopy larger, fewer NaNs. (b) if we make the thermal timescale for phase change longer, we get fewer NaNs (c) if we make the timestep smaller, we get fewer NaNs -> issue with timestepping? better implicit solver? One other question: why NaNs, and not domain errors?
• Improve/debug diagnostics - more variables, perhaps we want monthly averages
• Make better plots, maybe animations
• Use mask in diagnostics so we only get continents
• Use units that are reasonable for the community

#593 and #586 duplicates?

[kmdeck]

In addition to any new "features" we want, we probably want to do some cleanup of old issues. I will go through and link issues here that I think we can and should close prior to release. New features and capabilities we want to make sure we have we can discuss in person!

Can we close #326 ?

I think I can close #615, #660, and #661 is in the canopy implicit solver. #593 is already being tackled
#593 and #586 duplicates?

Thank you this is great!!
I updated the initial comment of this issue, just copy-pasting your list, and added tick box.

Apparently when we have tick box and an issue number, it automatically format and adds the issue title. nice.
