Are those data in the restart file instantaneous values?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to run BC5L45BGC component in CESM2.1.1. I'm confused about what data is stored in the restart files.
I wonder if the variables in the restart file are instantaneous values during the run of the model? In other words, are the variables in the *.cam.r.1980-01-02-00000.nc instantaneous values at the moment 1980-01-02-00000?

I tried outputting the instantaneous value at each step,
&cam_history_nl
empty_htapes = .true.
avgflag_pertape = 'I'
nhtfrq = 1
mfilt = 50
fincl1='U','V','T','Q'


I found that the value in restart file is not equal to the instantaneous value of model output at the corresponding moment.
I want to know what data is stored in restart file.
Could you please give me some advice?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks!
Joey
