Cryosphere
The frozen part of the Earth's surface. The cryosphere includes the polar ice caps, continental ice sheets, mountain glaciers, sea ice, snow cover, lake and river ice, and permafrost. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia The term “cryosphere” traces its origins to the Greek word kryos for frost or icy cold. It collectively describes the portions of the Earth’s surface where water is in a solid form and includes sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets, and frozen ground (which includes permafrost). The cryosphere is an integral part of the global climate system with important linkages and feedbacks generated through its influence on surface energy and moisture fluxes, clouds, precipitation, hydrology, and atmospheric and oceanic circulation (Figure 1). Through these feedback processes, the cryosphere plays a significant role in global climate and in climate model response to global change.
