iTrace forcings

I want to compare the iTrace simulation to speleothem fluid inclusion water isotope data (d18O and d2H). I am interested in the simulations with the full forcings reported by He et al. 2021. But, I am confused about the naming conventions in the files available in the earthsystemgrid website. For example, for 15Ka the following files are available:

b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.01.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.500001-599912.nc
b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.ice_ghg_orb.01.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.500001-599912.nc
b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.ice_ghg_orb_wtr.01.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.500001-589912.nc
b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.ice_ghg_orb_wtr.02.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.533001-585912.nc
b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.ice_ghg_orb_wtr.03.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.500001-599912.nc
b.e13.Bi1850C5.f19_g16.15ka.itrace.ice_orb.01.cam.h0.PRECRL_H216OR.500001-599912.nc

I understand that the ice_ghg_orb_wtr files are the results for the full set of forcings. Are the wrt01, wtr02 and wtr03 different meltwater scenarios? What is the first file with no forcing information?

Thanks
Alvaro
