The invention provides a mounting platform and an
automatic control method thereof and relates to the technical field of
ocean observation. The mounting platform comprises a mounting table, a first rotating device, a second rotating device, a detection device and a control device. The angle between the mounting table and a first axis and the angle between the mounting table and a second axis can be detected through the detection device, the pitching angle and the overturning angle of the mounting table at the moment are obtained, a pitching angle threshold value and an overturning angle threshold value are preset in the control device, the first rotating device and the second rotating device are controlled to be started and stopped according to a comparison condition, the mounting table can be automatically adjusted to be horizontally arranged through respective driving of the first rotating device and the second rotating device, and the technical problem that marine
observation data errors are large due to the fact that the preciseness and accuracy of the marine
observation data cannot be guaranteed in the prior art is solved by installing a marine observation device on the mounting table.
