Wind not only drives the surface ocean circulations, but also provides the main source of kinetic energy for deep ocean movements. This study focuses on the wind energy input to the north part of the North Pacific, including wind energy input to surface wave, surface geostrophic currents and surface ageostrophic currents. Results based on SODA3 (2000–2016) data show that there are obvious seasonal wind energy input gateways, which are the Subpolar Gyre for spring and autumn, the Eastern Pacific for summer and the Kuroshio Extension for winter respectively. The winter gateway gains the most wind energy among the four seasonal gateways, which is about 3−5 times higher than others. Since the beginning of the 21st century, wind energy input in winter gateway has weakened significantly, while increased in spring gateway, but has not changed significantly in summer and autumn gateway. For the spatial distribution of the trend in the 17 years, wind energy input to the surface wave is mainly dominated by the wind field, while wind energy input to the surface geostrophic current and ageostrophic current is dominated by the flow field. These mechanical energy input results are important for further understanding the ocean circulations in the North Pacific.
