I think what is interesting is that they will be flying at 65K-ft.
I think that is where more data and research needs to be done.
In fact, I beieve it was still-not-understood effects that occur at this level that caused TD2 not to spin up like Alex did.
I noticed that TD2's core was very low in altitude and very wide.
I am thinking it could be one of two things:
1) High O3 concentrations in the tropopause that compress the core and keep if from expanding and heating.
2) Subsidence from dry air sinking onto the TC at the end of a Walker cell.
