use_gw_oro VS use_gw_rdg_beta

Hi everyone,

I am conducting research on gravity waves using FHIST.

Since I want to enable orographic gravity waves, I tried to set use_gw_oro = .true.. However, I encountered the following error during the build process:

ERROR: both orographic wave and ridge scheme are on.

I discovered that another variable use_gw_rdg_beta is set to .true. by default. And use_gw_oro and use_gw_rdg_beta cannot be set to .true. simultaneously.

It seems that both use_gw_oro and use_gw_rdg_beta control orographic waves. Could anyone clarify the difference between them? Which one should I use to enable orographic gravity waves?
