You are comparing energy levels from the sun with the energy levels from these ground-based "heaters" as they are called even in the document links you provided.
On 3 April 2001, we conducted an experiment with Kodiak to study ionospheric heating for vertical (off-magnetic field alignment) and magnetic field-aligned orientations of the HAARP beam.
Electron cyclotron resonance is a phenomenon observed both in plasma physics and condensed matter physics. An electron in a static and uniform magnetic field will move in a circle due to the Lorentz force. The circular motion may be superimposed with a uniform axial motion, resulting in a helix, or with a uniform motion perpendicular to the field, e.g., in the presence of an electrical or gravitational field, resulting in a cycloid.
A method and apparatus for altering at least one selected region which normally exists above the earth's surface. The region is excited by electron cyclotron resonance heating to thereby increase its charged particle density. In one embodiment, circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation is transmitted upward in a direction substantially parallel to and along a field line which extends through the region of plasma to be altered. The radiation is transmitted at a frequency which excites electron cyclotron resonance to heat and accelerate the charged particles. This increase in energy can cause ionization of neutral particles which are then absorbed as part of the region thereby increasing the charged particle density of the region.

I think i know what HAARP is doing.
Have you noticed we have had very mild winters?
I think HAARP has been protecting our jet streams.
What's wrong with that?

Bernard Eastlund is one of those who developed the idea of using the effect to heat portions of the upper atmosphere.

Ions are charged particles (including free electrons). The HAARP principle affects electrons. It does not affect neutral (uncharged) atoms in the lower atmosphere.
Millions of watts of energy is insignificant when compared to the amount of energy the Sun pumps into the atmosphere.
I obviously understand quite a bit more about what HAARP can do and does do than you do.
The physicist did not move a cloud, he evaporated condensed water vapor in a closed box.
The initial WIND-HAARP experiments were conducted to begin the study of the global distribution of large scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere and magnetosphere.
It was resolved to adopt 122,000 per second (see note before) in the primary as compared with 21,000 per second with the old secondary which was obtained with 15 jars on each side of the primary. For this vibration (122,000) the length of the new secondary should be about 2000 feet, this being the length of a quarter wave.
This invention has a phenomenal variety of possible ramifications and potential future developments. As alluded to earlier, missile or aircraft destruction, deflection, or confusion could result, particularly when relativistic particles are employed. Also, large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection of same. Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device.
The full width at half maximum intensity of the central lobe will not be more than 18.5 milliradians, just over one degree, if the focusing is adequate, which renders possible an estimate of the intensity of the central power flux of the HAARP beam at high altitudes. If the central lobe contains about 10 % of the total radiated beam power, then a power flux in excess of one W/sq. cm could be attained at an altitude of 300 km and given a total radiated power of 10 GW, the power output of 12 Darlington nuclear reactors, or over 10 million electric kettles. These estimates tally with information given in Angels.3
Transmitter 16 is powered by power generator means 17 which is preferably comprised of one or more large, commercial electrical generators. Some embodiments of the present invention require large amounts of power, e.g., up to 10E9 to 10E11 watts, in continuous wave or pulsed power.
