Abstract
A hypothesis by Elsberry and Garwood (1978) for generation of upper ocean temperature anomalies during the spring transition period was tested. If the transition between the winter and summer regimes occurred earlier (later) than normal, the seasonal heating was expected to have been accumulated in a shallow (deep) layer, and would have tended to produce a positive (negative) sea-surface temperature anomaly.
