    Abstract With the development of ocean observation technology, data from specially designed mobile profiling floats have been used to study the internal tides (ITs). However, the accuracy of IT characteristics extracted from such observations has not been fully evaluated. Based on numerical simulations of ITs and background circulation with hundreds of free-moving floats near the Luzon Strait, this study examines the IT characteristics extracted from the float observations based on statistics. For the case in which only the M2 constituent is considered, the lowest error level of extracted M2 temperature fluctuation amplitudes (TFAs) is 40%–50%, which appears at 200–1500 m depth. Increasing the sampling frequency of the float from daily to hourly does not decrease the lowest error level. The quasi-daily sampling and other tidal constituents also have an impact on the extracted M2 TFAs and increase their errors. The different patterns of background currents mainly influence the errors of extracted M2 TFAs in the upper 200 m. The relation between TFA and vertical displacement of ITs and the two error sources of the TFA extracted from float observations are discussed in this study.

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Yermak Plateau (YP) is located across the Arctic–Atlantic gateway in the northwest of the Svalbard archipelago. In this region, internal waves are believed to cause intense turbulent mixing and hence influence the heat budget in the Arctic Ocean. Based on year-long observations from three moorings, the characteristics and energetics of diurnal and semidiurnal internal waves on the southern slope of the YP are investigated in this study. Diurnal internal waves induce large isothermal displacements exceeding 100 m, which are nearly one order of magnitude greater than those of semidiurnal internal waves. In addition, diurnal internal waves are strong in winter but weak in summer, while the semidiurnal internal waves exhibit complicated temporal variation. For the diurnal internal waves, their available potential energy is greater than the horizontal kinetic energy; whereas the situation is opposite for the semidiurnal ones. This feature is further clarified with two-dimensional numerical simulations. Due to the larger tidal excursion, diurnal tidal forcing yields the generation of stronger higher harmonics, i.e., the semidiurnal internal waves. In contrast, higher harmonics are rather weak under the semidiurnal forcing. Moreover, a large proportion of energy for both diurnal and semidiurnal internal waves is dissipated locally. Results of this study can provide useful insight on the dynamics of internal waves in the Arctic Ocean.</jats:p>
