According to Orr and Epitalon, GMD, 2015 (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-485-2015), the carbonate chemistry formulations that we use depend on in situ temperature, not potential temperature.

The fix will be to compute in situ temp in MARBL from potential temp and pass that to carbonate chemistry subroutines.

It also make sense to use in situ temp for biological processes as well.

AOU however, should continue to use potential temp.
