Documentation: https://berlin-gelaendemodelle-downloader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

What means 'Compress'

Compression means tiles, shaped as windows, are averaged. Because one subset of the data is of shape 2000x2000, the tile size, argument compress, have to divide 2000 without remainder.

The following image (Original) shows the structure of the data subsets (tiles).
