Morphology

anemometric = anemometer (transparent) = anemometer + ic

Formed by regular suffixation from 'anemometer' (+ -ic); the adjective directly relates to measurement of wind.

Etymology

Anemometric comes from the Greek parts anemo- 'wind' and -metric 'measure', like in thermometer. So, anemometric describes tools or data about 'measuring the wind', which is why we use it for wind speed and direction.
