Can I initialize the model from any year using the initial file of a specific year

Hello, everyone. I am using CESM2.2 to run the FHIST case. I have two questions about the initial file (set by 'ncdata').
  1. Does the initial file represent the state of a specific year, or is it simply a static equilibrium state used to start the model?
  2. When the run-type is set to startup, is it possible to initialize the model from any year using the initial file of a specific year? For example, if I use f.e20.FHIST.f09_f09.cesm2_1.001_v2.cam.i.2010-01-01-00000.nc or f.e22.FC2010climo.f09_f09_mg17.cam6_2_022.001.cam.i.0016-01-01-00000_c200610.nc as the initial file, can I start the simulation from 2015 using the emissions of 2015?
Thank you so much!
