Default Trajectory of a ballistic projectile in moving air

Hi folks.
I'm trying to solve the following problem for my masters thesis: Estimate the drag caused by wind on a free falling body from H altitude. H is in range of 300-1000 meters.
What would be the best way to calculate the drag caused by the wind ?

Assuming I have wind estimates for each altitdue.
Assuming I have drag coefficents of the body for 0.01-0.99 mach numbers.
Assuming I have duartion of the free fall.
Assuming I have center of pressure and center of gravity.

Would be glad for any help.
