Make STEMMUS_SCOPE BMI-able

 # Unreleased
 
+**Changed:**
+- The STEMMUS_SCOPE Matlab Runtime executable now needs version `R2023a`.
+
+**Added:**
+- STEMMUS_SCOPE BMI preparation:
+  - The executable can be run in an "interactive" mode. 
+    In this mode the model's initialization, time update, and finalization can be called upon separately.
+  - The model now will write away BMI-required variables to a state file, which can be used for the Python BMI.
+
 **Fixed:**
 
 - use `any()` function in `solveTridiagonalMatrixEquations.m` in

+## STEMMUS_SCOPE BMI
+
+`STEMMUS_SCOPE` has a BMI-like interface. This is available when running the Matlab Runtime version of the model.
+The full BMI is implemented in Python in [PyStemmusScope](https://github.com/EcoExtreML/STEMMUS_SCOPE_Processing/).
+
+A Docker image will also be available, which allows you to run the model on any system without installing Matlab Runtime.
+
+### BMI mode
+
+When starting the executable, a run-mode can be specified. The following command will run the model using the config file:
+
+```sh
+./STEMMUS_SCOPE "/home/path/to/config/file.txt" full
+```
+
+(Where `./STEMMUS_SCOPE` is the path to the executable. For more info see)
+
+To start BMI mode, pass anything (e.g. an empty string "") as config file, and use `bmi` to start the model in BMI-mode:
+
+```sh
+./STEMMUS_SCOPE "" bmi
+```
+
+The model will respond with `Finished command. Select run mode: `. Now you can initialize the mode:
+
+```
+Finished command. Select run mode: interactive "/home/path/to/config/file.txt"
+```
+
+The model will respond with:
+```
+Reading config from /home/path/to/config/file.txt
+Finished model initialization
+```
+
+Now you can use the commands `update` to advance the model by one timestep, and `finalize` to finalize the model.
+
+### Updating exposed variables
+
+The variables which are exposed to the Python BMI are defined in `STEMMUS_SCOPE_exe.m`.
+To add more variables, update the `bmiVarNames` variable.
+After this, you will need to update the BMI in [PyStemmusScope](https://github.com/EcoExtreML/STEMMUS_SCOPE_Processing/) so it can make use of these exposed variables.
