zeta0 = 0.5
L = 100;
W = 100;
h = 2;
g = 0.0098;
vt=sqrt(g*h)
c=1
v=c*vt
t1 = L/v
t = t1;
T1 = zeta0*v*t/(2*L)*(1-cos(pi/50*x)).*(1-cos(pi/100*(y+150))) ;
T2 = zeta0*v*t/L*(1-cos(pi/50*x)) ;
T3 = zeta0*v*t/(2*L)*(1-cos(pi/50*x)).*(1-cos(pi/100*(y-150))) ;
T = piecewise(0<=x<=100 , -150<=y<=-50, T1, 0<=x<=100 , -50<=y<=50, T2,0<=x<=100 , 50<=y<=150, T3)
fplot(T)

Creating an anonymous function for ‘T’ is much easier and faster than using piecwise and the Symbolic Math Toolbox for this:
zeta0 = 0.5
L = 100;
W = 100;
h = 2;
g = 0.0098;
vt=sqrt(g*h);
c=1;
v=c*vt;
t1 = L/v;
t = t1;
T1 = @(x,y) zeta0*v*t/(2*L)*(1-cos(pi/50*x)).*(1-cos(pi/100*(y+150))) ;
T2 = @(x,y) zeta0*v*t/L*(1-cos(pi/50*x)) ;
T3 = @(x,y) zeta0*v*t/(2*L)*(1-cos(pi/50*x)).*(1-cos(pi/100*(y-150))) ;
T = @(x,y) ((0<=x) & (x<=100) & (-150<=y) & (y<=-50)).*T1(x,y) + ((0<=x) & (x<=100) & (-50<=y) & (y<=50)).*T2(x,y) + ((0<=x) & (x<=100) & (50<=y) & (y<=150)).*T3(x,y);
[X,Y] = ndgrid(-100:5:200);
figure
surf(X,Y,T(X,Y))
grid on

Hello there!
You can code a piecewise function using conditional statements. More specifically, using if-else clause in this case. An example of absolute value function would be:
function val = absVal(x)
if x >= 0
val = x;
else
val = -x;
end
end
In a similar way, you can code your function.
If you are new to this concept, I recommend you to take the free MATLAB Onramp course, it will help you to get started with MATLAB.
UPDATE
If you have Symbolic Math Toolbox, you can use it to define this function in a similar way as you have mentioned. You can find similar examples here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/piecewise.html#bu_gw85-1.
