An air mass flowmeter having a sensor element of microelectromechanical design, a heating element, and a temperature sensor element. The temperature sensor element is a thermocouple assembly having a multiplicity of thermocouples connected in series. Each thermocouple is a first metal conductor and a second, different metal conductor connected to one another at one end by a connection point. To reduce the distortion of measurement results by the soiling of the sensor element, the first thermocouple(s) and the last thermocouple(s) of the thermocouple assembly are polarized such that an electrical current flows first through the second metal conductor and then through the first metal conductor in each case. The remaining thermocouples of the thermocouple assembly are polarized such that the electrical current flows first through the first metal conductor and then through the second metal conductor. |
