+Coupling with full `ClimaLand` model requires the following functions, in addition

+Note that `air_temperature`, `air_pressure`, `cos_zenith_angle`, `co2`, `diffuse_fraction`, `LW_d` and
+`SW_d` will not be present in a `ClimaAtmosSimulation` if the model is setup with no radiation.
+Because of this, a `ClimaAtmosSimulation` must have radiation if running with the full `ClimaLand` model.

 ### SurfaceModelSimulation - required functions
 Analogously to the `AtmosModelSimulation`, a `SurfaceModelSimulation`
 requires additional functions to those required for a general `ComponentModelSimulation`.
