Subject: [PATCH 03/51] Remove np.float_ as a fill option

Running with NumPy 2.2.2 produces the following error:

    AttributeError: `np.float_` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Use `np.float64` instead.

This removes the unsupported type.

Subject: [PATCH 21/51] Remove np.float_ as a fill option

Running with NumPy 2.2.2 produces the following error:

    AttributeError: `np.float_` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Use `np.float64` instead.

This removes the unsupported type.

 Installing via Conda

 The easiest way to install wrf-python is using

+`Conda <https://docs.conda.io>`_::
 
-    conda install -c conda-forge wrf-python
+    conda install conda-forge::wrf-python

+   which will be found by the Conda Python interpreter and cause various 
    import problems.  If you have a ~/.local directory, we strongly suggest 
    renaming it (mv ~/.local ~/.local_backup).
     
 
-Installing on Yellowstone
-----------------------------
-
-On Yellowstone, wrf-python can also be installed using the module load system, 
-if this is preferred over using conda.
-
-Unfortunately, because wrf-python requires newer dependencies, it is not 
-available using the 'all-python-libs' module, so many of the dependencies 
-need to be manually installed (most are for xarray).
-
-Also, make sure you are running in the gnu/4.8.2 compiler environment or 
-you will get import errors for a missing libquadmath library when you 
-go to import wrf-python.  
-
-To install::
+WRF-Python on NSF NCAR HPC
+--------------------------
 
-    module load gnu/4.8.2 or module swap intel gnu/4.8.2
-    module load python/2.7.7
-    module load numpy/1.11.0 wrapt/1.10.10 scipy/0.17.1 bottleneck/1.1.0 numexpr/2.6.0 pyside/1.1.2 matplotlib/1.5.1 pandas/0.18.1 netcdf4python/1.2.4 xarray/0.8.2
-    module load wrf-python/1.0.1
+WRF-Python is included in the `NCAR Python Library <https://ncar-hpc-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environment-and-software/user-environment/package-managers/conda/#the-ncar-python-library>`_ on the NSF NCAR HPC systems or can be installed using a supported package manager of your choice.
 
 
 Installing via Source Code
 --------------------------
 
 Installation via source code will require a Fortran and C compiler in order 
-to run f2py.  You can get them
-`here <https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries>`_.
+to run F2PY.
 
-The source code is available via github:
+The source code is available on GitHub:
 
 https://github.com/NCAR/wrf-python
 
-Or PyPI:
-
-https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wrf-python
-
-To install, if you do not need OpenMP support, change your working directory 
+To install, change your working directory 
 to the wrf-python source directory and run::
 
     $ pip install .
-    
-Beginning with wrf-python 1.1, OpenMP is supported, but preprocessing the 
-ompgen.F90 file is required, which also requires running f2py to 
-build the .pyf file. To simplify this process, you can use the build scripts in 
-the *build_scripts* directory as a guide, or just call the script directly.
-
-Below is a sample from a build script for GNU compiler with OpenMP enabled:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-   cd ../fortran/build_help
-   
-   gfortran -o sizes -fopenmp omp_sizes.f90
-   
-   python sub_sizes.py
-
-   cd ..
-   
-   gfortran -E ompgen.F90 -fopenmp -cpp -o omp.f90
-   
-   f2py *.f90 -m _wrffortran -h wrffortran.pyf --overwrite-signature
-   
-   cd ..
-
-   python setup.py clean --all
-   
-   python setup.py config_fc --f90flags="-mtune=generic -fopenmp" build_ext --libraries="gomp" build
-   
-   pip install .
-
-Beginning with numpy 1.14, f2py extensions can now be built using the MSVC 
-compiler and mingw gfortran compiler. Numpy 1.14 is required to build 
-wrf-python for Python 3.5+. 
-
-.. note::
-
-   If you are building on a supercomputer and receiving linker related 
-   errors (e.g. missing symbols, undefined references, etc), you probably 
-   need to unset the LDFLAGS environment variable. System administrators on 
-   supercomputing systems often define LDFLAGS for you so that you don't need 
-   to worry about where libraries like NetCDF are installed. Unfortunately, 
-   this can cause problems with the numpy.distutils build system. To fix, 
-   using the build command from above::
-   
-       $ unset LDFLAGS python setup.py config_fc --f90flags="-mtune=generic -fopenmp" build_ext --libraries="gomp" build
-
