2d line plot

Hi all,
I have temperature data for different depths over time. I'd like to display it with a coloured line plot that shows lines at the different depths filled with the temperature gradients over time (see example below). Attached are variables of depth, time and temperature for 0 meters. Anyone can give some help on how to do this?
Thank you in advance!!

The problem with the data is that the temperature does not vary much with the depth, and then only at the ends —
load('temp0')
load('depth0')
load('time0')
whos
temp0s = [min(temp0) max(temp0)]
depth0end = depth0(end);
depth0(end) = NaN;
figure
patch(time0, -depth0, temp0, 'EdgeColor','interp')
hold on
scatter(time0(end), -depth0end, 5, temp0(end), 'filled', 's')
hold off
cb = colorbar;
cb.Label.String = 'Temperature (°C)';
colormap(turbo)
xlabel('Time')
ylabel('Depth')
figure
plot3(time0, -[depth0(1:end-1); depth0end], temp0, ':k', 'LineWidth',0.25)
hold on
scatter3(time0, -[depth0(1:end-1); depth0end], temp0, 3.5, temp0, 'filled', 's')
hold off
cb = colorbar;
cb.Label.String = 'Temperature (°C)';
colormap(turbo)
grid on
xlabel('Time')
ylabel('Depth')
zlabel('Temperature')
.
