You probably mean the effect caused by varying IOR of the air. This is not
possible in POV, Mega or regular.
You can simulate it with a (large) number of transparent objects with different
IORs, representing the varying density layers of air. But I don't really
recommend it unless you have a Cray and a LONG vacation ahead of you.
