HAARP –snippet-
“The HAARP facility, currently under development in Alaska, is the outgrowth of more than 30 years of ionosheric heating research. A wealth of experimental studies conducted at ionospheric heating installations, such as the ones in Arecibo, Puerto Rica, Tromso, Norway, Fairbanks, Alaska, and several installations in the former USSR brought the understanding of the physics and the phenomenology of the HF-ionosphere interactions to a new plateau.
In 1990 in major workshop sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the AIR Force Research Laboratory, and with representation from the National Science Foundation, took place in New London, Connecticut. The workshop, attended by more than 60 representatives from key science, technology, applications areas, defined the operation requirements of the next HF ionospheric transmitter and presented the rationale that led to the HAARP.
It was concluded that an HF transmitter located in the auroral zone, with ground power three times larger than the one at Tromso and operationally enhanced with the flexibility provided by the most advanced phased array and software technology, would provide the nation with unprecedented capability to locally control the state of the ionosphere. The workshop endorsed the HAARP transmitter as the cornerstone of the transition from ionospheric research to technology and application.
GEOSPACE & HAARP SCIENCE - Snippet -
The Sun controls and shapes the three major regions of Geospace (the magnetosphere; the ionosphere; and the atmosphere); these regions interact with each other and form a chain connecting the Earth to the Sun. Disturbances from the Sun spread via solar winds and solar radiation which spread through the chain and ultimately influence the weather; climate; and communications (radio etc). The clouds and the Earth’s surface play a critical role in this chain, which is finely tuned to be in a delicate equilibrium with life on Earth
The polar ionosphere located above the Arctic is of particular significance due to the magnetic field lines traversing this region connect directly to the solar winds (a stream of charged particles). Furthermore, the solar winds functioning as a conductor creates an electric generator similar to that of a conventional generator (electricity generated whilst a conductor rotates or moves across as magnetic field).
The current generated by a solar wind is guided by the magnetic field, you are then able to “close” the electric circuit by traversing the polar ionosphere. This is known as the Auroral Electrodynamic Circuit and carries towards the Earth 0.1 to 1 million MegaWatts of power (equivalent to 100 to 1000 large power plants). The energy is dissipated in the polar ionosphere and transferred to the mesosphere, driving complex photochemical and plasma-physical processes. A fraction of this energy appears as the aurora borcalis.

NOTES
*Page 9 includes a list of HAARP’s Unique Features (current plan), acquisitions and diagnostic instrumentation.
*Mentions that “increased reliance on space-based electromagnetic systems requires not only monitoring of the global ionospheric state, but also an examination of the impact that controlled local modifications in the vicinity of transionosheric paths can have on these systems” page 8 of PDF.
*Last page of PDF includes glossary of acronyms used throughout
Hopefully it'll help dispel some of the more persistent yet outrageous claims made about HAARP.
