[MITgcm-support] Query regarding BLING

[Matthew Mazloff]

Hi Kunal

The default bling chemistry is the same as the DIC package. Is your run with the funny behavior using 
#undef CARBONCHEM_SOLVESAPHE
If so, can you check that you get the desired outcome with this undefined.

There may be a bug in the BLING SOLVESAPHE code.
