      I read Julie Berlier's blog (here) whenever she posts,  and today she mentioned Fata Morgana Mirage effect. 

I am always fascinated when something comes up that I haven't heard of in my many years on the planet. A Fata Morgana is a complex form of superior mirage that is seen in a narrow band right above the horizon.

The most commonly observed are sunset and sunrise mirages. In circumstances where a warm layer of air at the surface, usually over the sea, is overlaid by cold air above, an inferior mirage may be formed. As the Sun lowers towards the horizon, a miraged (inverted) Sun rises.
