‒m jump

This verification score measures the average change in a weather variable from one day to the next. This is done for each gridpoint and averaged at the end. This will highlight if the joining of segments is done properly. Ideally, the jump statistics should be the same between two consecutive days that are within one segment and two consecutive days that span two segments.

In this example, the average absolute jumps (for temperature) is constant for all pairs of consecutive days, except from day 8 to 9, which is much larger. This means that the joining isn't restrictive enough.
