Detection of stimulated brillouin scattering by the Jicamarca Radar.==$Journal of Geophysical Research:Space Physics, 83$==(A5), 2133-2136. https://doi.org/10.1029/JA083iA05p02133http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12816/653Observations of weak stimulated Brillouin scattering with the 50-MHz incoherent scatter radar at Jicamarca are described. The nonlinear interaction of the upgoing radar wave with the downcoming waves incoherently backscattered from greater heights, accuses an asymmetry in the incoherent 'ion' backscatter spectrum. For a given antenna aperture this asymmetry increases with increasing power and decreasing frequency of the radar. The theoretically predicted effect was unambiguously verified, using 3-ms pulses and long integration time. Model calculations based on the theory presented show good agreement with the observations.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessBrillouin scatteringIncoherent scattering radarBackscatteringinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.01Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physicshttps://doi.org/10.1029/JA083iA05p02133
