Details:
Please look at the composed image of two ships. The images were taken a few seconds apart. Do you believe it is the image of the same ship or a different ones? Actually it is two images of the same ship. So why do they look so different? Please watch the video I filmed and notice how the appearance of the ship has changed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HbR-0zJls0. The phenomena was caused by an abnormal atmospheric refraction. When the temperature profile is complex (curved) one might observe stooping and towering.At first in this situation the image of the ship I was seeing was stooping (compressed), while the image of the cargo containers were towering (stretched vertically) , at least it is how I interpret the image. When, the ship moved the temperature profile although still curved, probably became not as curved as in the beginning. The image of the ship started to look more or less as a normal ship.
