Opheim AFS was home to the 779th Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron (later the 779th Radar Squadron)from 1952 to 1979. It was part of the SAGE system. Most of the base has been dismantled, but the foundation for the radar tower is plainly visible. The former housing area is on the southern side of the facility.

Opheim operated both search and height-finder radars.

It refers to a mode of Doppler radar. You're probably used to looking at base reflectivity, which measures the intensity of precipitation within range of the radar. Base velocity measures the velocity at which any object, even wind, is moving toward or away from the radar. This is especially useful in identifying rotation (potential tornadoes), but also to diagnose other features such as cold air advection.

radar sends electromagnetic waves and it is reflected back by the object such as a plane or a sub and based on the analysis of time and speed of wave we get the position of object. for an example of radar they used radar before pearl harbor and saw many planes, the radar operatiors thought it was a squadron of b-29's returning to base but it ended up being the empire of japan's zero's (type of lightly armored plane that sacrificed armor for speed,agility,and a better service ceiling (how high a plane can go))
