Questions about the component "FHIST_BDRD"

Hello, everyone,

I want to do historical run simulations with prescribed ocean and sea ice with CESM 2.1.3. My focus is on the atmospheric variables over the ocean. I found the "FHIST_BDRD" incorporates the ocean biogeochemistry settings. I am confused.

My questions:
(1) what does it mean "BGC CO2=diag, rad CO2=diag" ?

(2) the ocean model component (POP2) is inactive using DOCN, while the ocean biogeochemistry is active. Isn't the ocean biogeochemistry a part of the POP2?

(3) If ocean biogeochemistry is indeed active, does this mean variables like ocean chlorophyll concentration are interactive, changing throughout the simulation period? Consequently, would the simulation outputs not only encompass atmospheric variables but also ocean biogeochemical variables? Is my understanding correct?

Thank you very much.
