PMSV stands for Pilot to Metro Weather Radar Facility.

Understanding acronyms in aviation weather comes down to matching the words to the letters and to common terms used in the field. PMSV should read as Pilot to Metro Weather Radar Facility. That keeps Pilot at the start and Metro Weather Radar Facility at the end, and uses Facility (a fixed site) rather than Vehicle or Satellite. The other options change key terms—Meteorological Service Vehicle, Primary Meteorological Satellite Vehicle, or Public Meteorology Surveillance Vehicle—and don’t fit the PMSV acronym or the typical meaning in this context. So the best match is Pilot to Metro Weather Radar Facility.
