TD 16 Early Satellite views

Using the link below. I've glanced at most of the enhanced views of TD 16.
ALL of the enhanced views that I normally use at night are into the Maximum Range over several area of TD 16.
This would mean that cloud tops are at or above 45,000 to 55,000 feet. And I would estimate current cloud top temperatures well below ( -80 C).
I don't recall seeing a Tropical Depression having maximum levels in the enhancements over the last 3 or 4 years.
