When running with an FKESSLER compset and ne30pg3 grid (which uses analytic ICs), it was found that certain constituent variables (specifically Q and CLDLIQ) are initialized to zero, which results in no moist processes (e.g. precipitation) occurring during the moist baroclinic wave test. This is not what is expected, and doesn't match how CAM is initializing the values.
What are the steps to reproduce the bug?
Run the FKESSLER compset in CAM-SIMA and CAM with an ne30pg3 grid with the zeroth (initial) time step outputted, and compare the Q and CLDLIQ values between the two different models.

Extra info
Technically this bug was found on the following CAM-SIMA branch:
https://github.com/peverwhee/CAM-SIMA/tree/history_court
But I have no reason to believe it doesn't exist on the main development branch as well (especially after PR #274 is eventually merged in).
