Description
Early on in the design of Parcels (pre-v2), we decided to do most computations in float32. With the development of C-grid interpolation in v2, we required float64 accuracy to properly deal with boundary conditions. Still, we left a lot of float32 support under the hood in Parcels
With the recent release of NumPy v2, some of these float32-implementations seem to be breaking some of the unit tests. This probably has to do with this change to data type promotion in NumPy. See also #1603 (comment).
This has been quick-fixed in 20206c2, but ideally, we may want to reconsider the use of float32 in Parcels altogether.
This Issue is a place to discuss/explore what would happen if we move fully to float64 in Parcels
