It's discussed here with some references:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3243/why-should-a-table-caption-be-placed-above-the-table

I took a quick looks as some different journals for which I have
articles with both tables and figures on my computer.  7 had the
configuration table captions above and figure caption below.  One had
both captions above.  One had mixed figure captions (some years above
some years below).  So for sure table captions should be above.
Probably figure captions should be below.  It makes sense.
