Why Some sf_surface_physics Schemes Are Disabled for Master Domain

[xinyuchen]

When I was using Wizard Domain to edit and modify the namelist.input file, I noticed that some settings do not include certain schemes (or configurations). What could be the reason for this? For instance, Why can't schemes 4–6 and 8 be selected for the master domain in sf_surface_physics?
I'd be so grateful if you could help me with this!

I'm not an expert for Domain Wizard, but if I was programmer I might have think about including checks if the particular domain has all the input data required to run particular scheme and if not, disable that option. For example, NOAH-MP (4) requires specific static fields that are not included by default (you need to download them and use correct GEOGRID.TBL during geogrid phase to have them in your static domain files).

That is just my guess.
