Weather Modification

Most relevant to hostile weather modification or harmful deposition, because they discuss deliberate atmospheric intervention, materials, environmental impacts, or governance.

These concern intentional weather modification, mostly civilian cloud seeding:

  14. Tessendorf et al. — cloud seeding physical evaluation
  15. French et al. — Orographic Cloud Seeding
  16. Breed et al. — winter orographic cloud seeding

These are relevant because cloud seeding is real and can involve silver iodide, dry ice, salts, or hygroscopic particles, but these sources generally
evaluate precipitation enhancement, not warfare.

Most relevant to “poisoning soil/water/crops” through deposition

These do not imply deliberate poisoning, but they measure substances that could contaminate ecosystems:

17–26. NADP, Mercury Deposition Network, EPA Atmospheric Deposition, CASTNET, USGS, NOAA, EMEP, ICP Waters/Forests
Useful for checking real measured deposition of sulfate, nitrate, mercury, metals, acidity, etc.

27–36. Nitrogen / acid rain / sulfur deposition papers
Relevant to crop/soil/water harm via acidification, eutrophication, nutrient imbalance.

37–46. Trace metals / mercury / lead papers
Most relevant to contamination or toxicity claims: mercury, lead, aluminum, chromium, nickel, zinc, copper, etc.

47–56. Dust / mineral aerosol papers
Relevant if investigating aluminum/iron/mineral dust deposition. But natural desert dust and industrial dust are common explanations.

Most relevant to geoengineering deposition risk

These are about proposed or modelled solar geoengineering, not proof of active poisoning:

64–86. Stratospheric aerosol injection / solar radiation management papers
Especially:

  • Crutzen — stratospheric sulfur injections
  • Rasch et al. — stratospheric sulphate aerosols
  • Tilmes / Heckendorn — ozone impacts
  • Keith et al. — calcium carbonate particles
  • Smith & Wagner — SAI tactics/costs
  • Visioni / Kravitz / MacMartin — deployment modelling

These are relevant to what might be injected or deposited under proposed geoengineering: sulfates, sulfur dioxide, calcium carbonate, possibly alumina or other aerosols in related literature.

Relevant to modifying clouds/ocean using salts or iron

87–94. Marine cloud brightening papers
Relevant because they discuss deliberate sea-salt aerosol release.

57–63. Ocean iron fertilization papers
Relevant because they involve deliberate iron addition to ocean systems, but not soil/crop poisoning.

Actual “weather warfare” references

Your current list mostly lacks the key legal/military references. Add these:

These sources can help investigate capability, materials, environmental residues, and regulation, but they are not evidence of hostile intent without chain-of-custody sampling, temporal correlation, documented operations, and exclusion of industrial/agricultural/natural sources.
