Hi,

something like:

Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity}, 
  sp = ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[phi]*Sin[th], Sin[phi]*Sin[th], Cos[th]},
{th, 
        Pi/2, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2Pi}];
water = ParametricPlot3D[{r*Cos[phi], r*Sin[phi], -0.1 +
0.1*r*Sin[4phi], 
        SurfaceColor[RGBColor[0.2, 0.2, 1.0]]}, {r, 0, 0.95}, {phi, 0,
2Pi}];
  ]
Show[sp, water]

Regards
  Jens
