#' @keywords AIRSIS
#' @export
#' @title Load most recent AIRSIS monitoring data
#' @param parameter Parameter of interest.
#' @param baseUrl Base URL for 'daily' AirNow data files.
#' @param dataDir Local directory containing 'daily' data files.
#' @return A \emph{ws_monitor} object with AIRSIS data.
#' @description Loads pre-generated .RData files containing the most recent
#' AIRSIS data.
#'
#' If \code{dataDir} is defined, data will be loaded from this local
#' dirctory. Otherwise, data will be loaded from the monitoring data repository
#' maintained by PWFSL.
#'
#' The  files loaded by this function are updated multiple times an hour and
#' contain data for the previous 10 days.
#'
#' For daily updates covering the most recent 45 days, use \code{airsis_loadDaily()}.
#'
#' For data extended more than 45 days into the past, use \code{airsis_loadAnnual()}.
