Brit.

/ˈkrʌɪə(ʊ)sfɪə/, U.S.

/ˈkraɪoʊˌsfɪ(ə)r/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Polish lexical item. Etymons: cryo- comb. form, -sphere comb. form.

Etymology: < cryo- comb. form + -sphere comb. form, after Polish kryosfera ( A. Dobrowolski Historja naturalna lodu (1923) Preface p. ii.). Compare cryology n.

Environmental Science.

The part of the earth's surface where water exists as ice; the entire region of the natural environment that is below 0°C, esp. permanently.
