Salient characteristics for Item 0001: The following are minimum specifications and performance criteria for the unit: Spectral resolution fine enough to retrieve solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from telluric and solar absorption features (< 1 nm FWHM). Wavelength range wide enough to cover 500 900 nm to enable simultaneous acquisition of red SIF at 687 nm; far-red SIF at 760 nm; photochemical reflectance index (PRI) at 530 n
