The inferior mirage flash is a type of green flash that appears as the last glimpse of the setting sun or as the first glimpse of the rising sun. In this picture, the green flash is seen over the Pacific Ocean at sunset from San Francisco, California, USA.
This type of green flash occurs when the surface layer of air is markedly warmer than the overlying air. It is best seen from close to sea level.
