Description

Describe the bug

I'm using new site data which comes as dtype int and failing the load check for site. Unless there is a reason that we require a float and not an int for site data, this should be extended to allow int data.

Research direction

Start by locating the site-data load check that rejects integer dtype values and inspect how site data types are validated. Confirm the expected behavior for both integer and floating-point site data; done means integer site data loads successfully without regressing the existing float path.
