It depends on what is going on in her head.
Are you in the room when she does it? Bending over her or scolding her? If so, this is submissive urination. This isn't something you can scold her for (the actual urination). Submissive urination is a signal that the dog realizes the person/dog standing over them or yelling/growling at them is the boss.
I assume, though, that this is going on when you aren't in the room, possibly not even home. If so, this is your dog marking your bed as belonging to her, as her 'territory'.
If this is the case, you need to change a lot of things in your dealings with your dog.
First of all, you need to look into alpha training with her. Training her that YOU are the boss in your home, not her. There are a lot of easy ways to do this. Feed her after you eat. Don't let her on the furniture unless YOU invite her up. Don't let her on the backs of the couch/chair when you are in the seat. Don't let her in your bed while you are sleeping. Don't reward her with anything until she obeys a command. Get obedience training with her.
There are several other tips, you can find them by typing 'alpha training dog' into a search engine.
As for the actual peeing on the bed...if it is the second scenario, this IS a scoldable offense.
Unlike normal housebreaking where you can't scold unless you catch the dog in the act, marking, or claiming territory, is meant by the dog as a reminder. They remember doing this very well. You need to let her know that you don't appreciate it one bit and will no longer tolerate this behavior.
Take her to the spot and thoroughly scold her for the act. Then isolate her in a location she does not like (bathroom, for example). Change the bedding and, if needed, spray the mattress with a solution that removes the scent to her nose (Nature's Miracle, Simple Solution are two good products). Remake the bed and put a sock you have recently worn on the exact spot she went (even if you have flipped the mattress).
Then bring the dog back to the spot and show her your own 'mark', your sock. Tell her "MINE", and walk away.
This lets her know that you are upset with her behavior, that you can wipe her scent away and that you claim this spot as yours.
Good luck!

I would have her checked for a urinary tract or bladder infection. It could be that the jumping motion just triggered an 'urge' due to an irritated bladder.
Any time there's unexplained urination problems it's good to have that checked first.

She could be angry at you. It could also be submissive wetting. When is she doing this?
