Disclosed is a low-energy-consumption floating automatic oceanographic and meteorological observation platform, comprising a meteorological observation module, a sea surface monitoring module, and a profile observation module. The meteorological observation module is configured to provide a buoyant platform for realizing observation of meteorological data while guaranteeing power supply and providing a space for equipment placement. The sea surface monitoring module is configured to realize observation of sea surface data while preventing the buoyant platform from drifting. The profile observation module is located below the meteorological observation module and configured to complete automatic observation of an ocean profile in a low-energy-consumption manner. Gravity is regulated to change a combined force of buoyancy and gravity to realize upward or downward movements of the device, which effectively replaces the conventional high energy consumption program. Meanwhile, a portion of energy in sinking of the profile observation module is converted into elastic potential energy and released subsequently, which reduces energy consumption.
