So, a pencil held half way in a clear glass of water appears misaligned because of the way light deals with different material densities. It seem to me that different temperature air masses could have a vertical interface. This would be akin to the surface of the water standing vertically and the image of the pencil would shift vertically rather than horizontally. In any case, I’m pretty sure we aren’t breathing atmosflat instead of atmosphere. 😄
