<table>Changes in the troposphere stability between 1984–1993 and 2084–2093, averaged over 5°W-5°E, simulated without dynamic vegetation (a) and with dynamic vegetation (b). The troposphere stability is represented by the moist static energy difference between 200 mb and 850 mb (MSE<sub>200</sub>–MSE<sub>850</sub>).</table>
