contents In this paper, we investigate kinetic energy and streamline properties for an irrotational periodic geophysical traveling surface water waves propagating in equatorial oceanic regions. Relying on the methods from complex analysis, we prove the logarithmic convexity and monotonicity of specific flow variables. By means of conformal mappings, we derive some qualitative results for kinetic energy and streamline, such as streamline time-period being independent of any moment and any point on the streamline in steady flow, the concavity and monotonicity of total kinetic energy within the region between two streamlines and the convexity and monotonicity of total kinetic energy over a streamline time-period. Moreover, we present several results about irrotational equatorial wind waves, such as an upper bound of the minimum of streamline time-period, an upper bound of the maximum of area within the region between two streamlines. Taking advantage of the Bernoulli's law and the Schwarz reflection principle, we show that the extremum of the kinetic energy is attained on the free surface for irrotational equatorial wind waves.
