Coerce a dataset into an argo dataset. This is not the right way to
read official argo datasets, which are provided in NetCDF format and may
be read with read.argo().

)An argo object.
a vector of POSIXct times.
a vector of longitudes.
a vector of latitudes.
a vector of salinities.
a vector of temperatures.
a vector of pressures.
an optional list containing units. If NULL, the default,
then "degree east" is used for longitude,
"degree north" for latitude,
"" for salinity,
"ITS-90" for temperature, and
"dbar" for pressure.
an identifier for the argo float, typically a number, but stored within
the object in a character form. (For example, the dataset retrieved with data(argo)
has an id of "6900388".)
a source filename, which defaults to an empty string.
an optional missing value, indicating data values that should be
taken as NA.

The documentation for the argo class explains the structure of argo objects, and also outlines the other functions dealing with them.
