It's restricted? Last time I checked there were plenty of professors and students doing research there. Not to mention the days where the facility is open for public tours.
Generating very low frequency radio waves by modulated heating of the auroral electrojet, useful because generating VLF waves ordinarily requires gigantic antennas
VLF remote sensing of the heated ionosphere
The term 'auroral electrojet' is the name given to the large horizontal currents that flow in the D and E regions of the auroral ionosphere. Although horizontal ionospheric currents can be expected to flow at any latitude where horizontal ionospheric electric fields are present, the auroral electrojet currents are remarkable for their strength and persistence. There are two main factors in the production of the electrojet. First of all, the conductivity of the auroral ionosphere is generally larger than that at lower latitudes. Secondly, the horizontal electric field in the auroral ionosphere is also larger than that at lower latitudes. Since the strength of the current is directly proportional to the vector product of the conductivity and the horizontal electric field, the auroral electrojet currents are generally larger compared to those at lower latitudes. During magnetically quiet periods, the electrojet is generally confined to the auroral oval. However during disturbed periods, the electrojet increases in strength and expands to both higher and lower latitudes. This expansion results from two factors, enhanced particle precipitation and enhanced ionospheric electric fields.

And the heated solar rays pass through the ionosphere.
So if you could amplify certain parts of the ionosphere with heated radio waves...

You can see a lot of the work at HAARP right here. Work by a lot of people from a lot of different places.

And apparently, you didn't take time to watch the video, which explained how. So, why bother making your silly comments. The way it's done is by heating up the ionosphere, with radiation frequencies. The heat causes the ionosphere to rise. As the ionosphere rises, the troposphere fills in that space.

Sorry, I don't see anything there that indicates that the ionosphere affects weather.
I've seen the silly video.

Not sure what "radiation frequencies" are but that is pretty much correct. That's what ionospheric heaters do. They use high frequency radio waves to excite free electrons in the ionosphere. They start moving around faster. That's what heat is.

Not really. The density of the ionosphere is so low that there isn't much going on the in way of convection. But there are other mechanisms for vertical transport.
The heat causes the ionosphere to rise
No it doesn't. The troposphere is not connected to the ionosphere. There's a lot of almost nothing between the really almost nothing of the ionosphere and the troposphere.
As the ionosphere rises, the troposphere fills in that space.
HAARP does not tranmit ELF and sound is not the same thing as radio waves.
Here's a GREAT video of sound waves at specific frequencies. Look at the movement or touch your sub-woofers, while listening to these tones. ELF's operate the same way.
Oh is that what you believe it is.....a radio transmission?

Frequencies of sound / particulate matter and frequencies of energy are rather different things.
Are you trying to claim that ELF (extremely low frequency, in the radio sense) are capable of moving matter significantly enough, and with precision enough to cause weather events?
The gaseous expulsion I just emitted probably has more atmospheric motive force than a 1 megawatt radio transmissionedit on 8-6-2013 by siliconpsychosis because: (no reason given)
Turn up the bass, and see what waves can do. Turn it up high enough, and watch things move. So, yeah, waves can move matter; even if those waves are from an ocean.
Extremely low frequency (ELF) waves are electromagnetic radiation
