An example is shown of practical realization of the condition estimation of cereals after wintering. This is one of the
most updated aspects for the Southern part of Russia concerning the concept of an information and measurement system
application using remote sensing data. Considering snow cover state as an important factor to solve the asserted
problem, mutual analysis has been conducted of the classification results of satellite data and hydro-meteorological
observations. An opportunity to use information technologies while applying remote sensing data to gain integral estimates
of the winter wheat and barley crops after winter is shown on the example of the Rostov region.
Keywords: remote sensing data, integral estimates, hydro-meteorological observations, winter wheat condition classification, MODIS
