MATLAB: Plotting a 2-d graph

plot

Is it possible to make a plot with three variables, but using only ta 2-D plot? For instance, I want the x-axis to be time, y-axis to be height, and the independent variable to be temperature. I haven't found anything online that would hint at a possibility, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

If you want to use 3 variables on 2D plot, then you can use contour or contourf or surf or surfc.
clc
clear
lat=(1:10)';
lon=(1:20)';
rf=randi(20,10,20);
figure()
contourf(lon,lat,rf,'linecolor','none');
figure()
[x,y]=meshgrid(lon,lat);
a=surf(x,y,rf,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor', 'none')
figure()
surfc(x,y,rf,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor', 'none')
