The invention discloses an antarctic subglacial water detection method based on morphological characteristics of base signals. The method comprises the following steps: 1, preparing radio echo sounding data; 2, constructing a standard for describing the horizontal morphological characteristics of the substrate signal: 2.1, acquiring elevation data of an ice bed, 2.2, obtaining three indexes capable of describing horizontal morphological characteristics; and 2.3, constructing a standard, specifically, in order to highlight the position with strong elevation horizontal morphological characteristics of the ice bed, defining the standard for describing the elevation horizontal morphological characteristics of the ice bed in the specification; 3, constructing a standard for describing the vertical morphological characteristics of the substrate signal: 3.1, acquiring base signal data, 3.2, obtaining five indexes capable of describing vertical morphological characteristics: (1) responsivity, (2) degree of symmetry, (3) thin height, (4) thinness, and (5) the deviation degree of the substrate interface, and 3.3, constructing a standard; and 4, obtaining the possibility that the substrate has water under ice: 4.1, conducting preliminary possibility judgment, and 4.2, conducting final possibility judgment and classified display.
