Air traffic control imposed limitations on the research operations due to the incoming traffic into <br />Houston International/Houston Hobby and the prevalent weather conditions. At 23:16Z, cloud bases were <br />observed to be composed of cumulus showers below 1100m with tops around 1500m. Bases were <br />observed to be even lower closer to Galveston Bay, so the crew decided to climb through the clouds to <br />40 <br />
