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.
