As a ships gets farther and farther away from us the light stop reaching us, the ship turns gray, and at some point, based on the zoom of the camera, it just fades away in the horizon. It does not disappear from the bottom up.
There is a limit to how far we can see, once things get far enough away it starts to appear misty, as there is water in the air, that over distance start appearing foggy. So things in the distance at sea level looks bright. It does not matter what level you are at, if you are in a airplane and look at the horizon, things in the distance will start to look misty, as the water in the air builds up over a long distance and blocks our sight.
Slander really? I thought better of you
Thinking about it refraction might not be the way to describe OPs picture. It is not that easy understanding these effects.
It is a picture at sea level. With how perspective works, the farther away a object gets the smaller it appears. In the first link I posted it shows that there is distortion even at very short distances when you get close enough to the ground.
With wind the waves are a couple of metres high, the camera is not high enough over the ways, so a couple of meters gets blocked from the horizon, by the wavs. Maybe distortion with such a low camera is the right word.
