Thank you, found it.

So, under normal circumstances the Earth is loosing about nine and a half billion kilograms of hydrogen every hundred years.

Is there any data on how much the upper atmosphere nuclear explosions increased this loss?

It also indicates that:
“Recent models indicate that stripping by solar wind accounts for less than 1/3 of total non-thermal loss processes.”
