Short summary
The distance-weighted averaging method was used to calculate the along-orbit sea surface height (SSH) wavenumber spectra of four satellites and to evaluate the along-track resolution capability of the four satellites. The results show that the resolution of Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) in the Kuroshio region is 25 km, which is twice the resolution of conventional satellites. A parameter was defined using the cross-power-spectrum approach and used to analyse the global ocean.
