Where can I find the settings of the CESM FC5 experiment?

Hi,

I'm totally new to running CESM model. I recently run CESM1.2.1. FC5 experiment with the help of one of my coworkers in my lab a few days ago. (I did not change a thing regarding the setting so I'm pretty sure it's the most basic FC5 experiment run)
Now I'm trying to find out some of the basic settings of the model experiment regarding the following questions:

1) At which year's SST & sea ice is used for prescribed SST of FC5?
2) Is trace gas concentration (ex. CO2, CH4, N2O, O3) prescribed or interactive in the model?
If it is prescribed, at which year's CO2, CH4, N2O, and O3 level is used?
3) How is soil moisture treated in the model? Is it prescribed or interactive?
And if prescribed, what value does model use?

Can anyone tell me either the answers to these questions or at least where I can find the relevant information (either on the internet or in a typical server directory)?
Please let me know if you need additional information to provide the right answer.
I really appreciate your great help. Thank you!

I'm trying to find out some of the basic settings of the model experiment regarding the following questions:

1) At which year's SST & sea ice is used for prescribed SST of FC5?
=> this is a climo over the year 1982-2001

2) Is trace gas concentration (ex. CO2, CH4, N2O, O3) prescribed or interactive in the model?
=> It is prescribed.
ch4vmr = 1760.0e-9
co2vmr = 367.0e-6
f11vmr = 653.45e-12
f12vmr = 535.0e-12
flbc_list = ' '
n2ovmr = 316.0e-9


3) How is soil moisture treated in the model? Is it prescribed or interactive?
=> please post this question in the land forum.
