AFAIK these are the parameters:
\textfloatsep
The vertical space added between the floats appearing at
the top or bottom of a page and the text on that page.
(i.e. with option t or b)
\intextsep
The vertical space placed above and below a float that is
put in the middle of the text (with the h location option).
LaTeX default:
\setlength\textfloatsep{20pt plus 2pt minus 4pt}
\setlength\intextsep {12pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}
Make shure to use variable lengths (plus/minus) if you use other values.
