Original Note:
Not the curvature. It's an optical effect called "sinking." Dense air refracts light. Warm air is denser when interfacing w/ cool ocean water. Evenly distributed density change make objects shift undistorted. As shown, more distant objects, viewed through more air, sink more. https://aty.sdsu.edu/mirages/mirsims/loom/loom.html
