DOD Proposal - Weather Modification Using Carbon Black.pdf
It dates from the same era as your posted FOIA Response on DOD use of weather modification.
Also attached find a pdf file for a TOP SECRET Congressional Hearing (declassified 5-19-74) on Weather Modification, and its use by the military, particularly in Southeast Asia.

There are international Treaties and Conventions (most notably ENMOD), prohibiting the application of such means of weather or environmental modification in warfare or to harm a country or peoples. Such modification would also include inducing a damaging earthquake, and military research on this (e.g., with the US in NZ) is reputed to go back to WWII.
There are a number of weather modification patents. Although they are for peaceful applications of weather modification, they could in practice be misapplied by the military to harm a nation, its infrastructure, crops, and peoples. Having done some theoretical research and a patent search for such a project for an Indian Meteorologist, hoping to diminish the harm from monsoons, he would be horrified at the prospect that the military would misapply such a potentially fruitful technology.
