There are 2 military manuals that cover these topics and Plaster's Advanced Ultimate Sniper.
I'll try and find the # for the manual I think it is FM 23-10 and 23-14
From what I remember 1 moa per 20degrees in temp or change in humidity.

Buy a Kestal wind gage, it does everything you need. That being said, reading the wind is an art form not a science. It takes laying down, looking through your scope at flags, mirage and trees to develop the skill needed to send a bullet in the right place. Even with the kestal, it only gives the wind where you are standing, not down range. Nothing beats the real thing.

Get this book. Read it 4 times and practice a lot.
