Purpose. The aim of the work is to investigate vertical structure and phase characteristics of free short-period internal waves (IW), and to assess their dependence on density stratification in the Barents, Kara, Laptev and East Siberian seas. Methods and Results. Solving the main boundary problem of the Sturm -Liouville theory resulted in calculating the amplitudes of velocity vertical component, own frequencies and periods of the first mode of internal waves. The density field was calculated u
