Morphology

anemometrical = anemometer (transparent) = anemometer + ical

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'anemometer' with the standard adjectival suffix '-ical', so the meaning is clearly related to instruments/measurement of wind.

Etymology

Anemometrical comes from Greek parts anemo- meaning 'wind' and -meter meaning 'measure', the same -meter you see in speedometer. So, anemometrical means 'relating to measuring wind', which is why it describes instruments or studies of wind speed and direction.
