Describe the Task

Update any code necessary for upgrading to Python 3.10.4. We are taking this action because WCOSS2 is only allowing Python 3.10.4 to be used for operational installations. Therefore, we need to ensure that our next release uses Python 3.10.4.

Please also update .readthedocs.yaml with 3.10.4
Note that we decided NOT to upgrade to 3.10.4 since RTD supports up to 3.8.
