The invention discloses a method for inverting surface soil physical parameters through passive 
microwave remote sensing. The method comprises the steps as follows: step one, 
brightness temperature data and MPDIes (
microwave polarization difference indexes) of an AMSR-E passive 
microwave remote sensing brightness temperature image are acquired by a launched 
satellite-borne passive 
microwave remote sensing meter AMSR-E; step two, a relationship of 
smooth surface reflectance, surface soil roughness parameters, MPDIes and 
vegetation optical thickness is acquired through deduction; step three, surface 
soil humidity mv and soil roughness h are calculated; and step four, the surface 
soil temperature TS is calculated. The method is based on a simplified passive microwave 
radiation transfer equation and combined with the MPDIes, a Q / H surface soil roughness model, a 
vegetation optical thickness model, a Fresnel equation and the like, so that a physical inversion model for the surface soil 
determinant attribute parameters including the 
soil temperature, the surface 
soil temperature and the soil roughness is constructed; and the method can be used for inverting the surface soil temperature, 
soil humidity and 
surface roughness distribution of China and even the global region and has important scientific significance.
