"The '''cryosphere''' ... is [a] term which collectively describes the portions of [an astronomical object's] surface where [[water]] is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, [[glaciers]], ice caps and ice sheets, and frozen ground (which includes permafrost). Thus there [may be] a wide overlap with [a] hydrosphere. The cryosphere is an integral part of the global climate system with important linkages and [[feedback]]s generated through its influence on surface energy and moisture fluxes, clouds, precipitation, [[hydrology]], atmospheric and oceanic circulation. Through these feedback processes, the cryosphere plays a significant role in global climate and in [any] climate model response to global change."<ref name=Cryosphere>{{ cite web
