These maps are intended to show the levels of pollution in the atmosphere rather than the stellar visibility which is the aim of the other maps described afterwards. The assumption of sea level and standard clear atmospherical conditions allows to compare pollution of different areas, to recognize more polluting sources or darker areas (areas with less light in the atmosphere and not areas where you see better the stars) without be confused by the altitude effects.
