Short summary
This paper describes the software package JuWavelet, which implements the continuous wavelet transform, which is a popular tool in the geosciences to analyse wave-like phenomena. The code implements the transform in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D for both analysis and synthesis, which closes a gap in available open-source software. The mathematics behind the transformation are given, and several examples showcase the capabilities of the software.
