These indices are widely calculated at point scale rather than spatial scale. With the increasing availability of spatially distributed climate data, few tools are developed to access and post-process the raw climate data format into tabular format, such as `Climate4R` [@iturbide2019].However, there are rarely well-documented and open-source tools that streamline the calculation of population-weighted HDD and CDD at user-defined spatiotemporal resolutions or electricity dispatch sectors defined in GCAM, directly using gridded climate and population data. `helios` is developed to integrate these workflows and standardize the output for easy usage within and beyond GCAM applications. +Heating and cooling degree days are commonly used as meteorological indices in the energy system to measure the temperature deviations from the reference temperature over time.
