Here is a link to that HDOB:

They were trying to follow the 700mb surface, but they got behind and looks like they descended really quickly to try to reach it again quickly.

Here is the last pass from the Air Force mission this morning:

See how they more gradually follow the 700mb surface.

I'm not sure if that had anything to do with why they are circling though.
