Differentiable scattering covariances on the sphere

S2SCAT is a Python package for computing third generation scattering covariances on the sphere (Mousset et al 2024) using JAX or PyTorch. It leverages autodiff to provide differentiable transforms, which are also deployable on hardware accelerators (e.g. GPUs and TPUs).
