Add operational environment YAML

 # AOSS Tower
+
+## Operational conda environment
+
+These instructions assume the operational "standard practice" that is current
+at the time of writing. This practice is to create a conda environment using
+the "root" user under `/opt/metobs/aoss_tower`.
+
+1. Get and install the conda environment:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd /tmp
+   curl -O "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/AossTower/-/raw/master/environment.yaml"
+   sudo /opt/miniconda3/condabin/conda env create --file environment.yaml --prefix /opt/metobs/aoss_tower
+   ```
+
+2. Clone the git repository into the environment and other setup:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd /opt/metobs/aoss_tower
+   sudo mkdir -p repos/git log lock
+   sudo chown metobs:metobsgrp log lock
+   sudo git clone "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/AossTower.git" repos/git/AossTower
+   sudo ln -s repos/git/AossTower/scripts ./scripts
+   sudo git clone "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/MetObsCommon.git" repos/git/MetObsCommon
+   ```
+
+3. Install the metobsapi python package:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo /opt/metobs/aoss_tower/bin/pip install -e repos/git/MetObsCommon/
+   sudo /opt/metobs/aoss_tower/bin/pip install -e repos/git/MetObsAPI/
+   ```
+
+4. Copy `etc` files from MetObsCommon if necessary:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo cp repos/git/MetObsCommon/etc/... /etc/...
+   ```
