are you restoring to a seasonal cycle or to an annual cycle?
if you are restoring to a seasonal cycle - you should see it, I think, with 12 day relaxation time constant
verify that your restoration files have annual cycle and that their description is correct in data.exf

Many thanks for your sharp & encouraging reply. Actually I am using

 climsstTauRelax    = 1036800.0,

in my "data.exf". Yet, my model is not able to pickup seasonal cycle in SST. Any suggestions?
