Les anémomètres peuvent être classés en quatre catégories selon le principe sur lequel ils reposent : 1. Les anémomètres dont le capteur utilise l'énergie cinétique de l'air : anémomètres à moulinet et à hélice. [...] 2. Les anémomètres utilisant la pression exercée par le vent sur un capteur stationnaire : tube de Pitot, anémoclinomètre, anémomètre à traînée. [...] 3. Les anémomètres thermiques utilisant la modification des échanges thermiques d’un corps chauffé par l'air en mouvement : anémomètre à fil chaud, anémomètre thermoélectrique. [...] 4. Les anémomètres soniques basés sur la variation de la vitesse de propagation du son dans l'air en mouvement; le son se propageant plus vite dans le sens du vent que dans le sens opposé. 3, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre
