title: Python-Plotting Temperature as a function of Depth over a period of time
body: <p>I'm relatively new to python and am currently working to analyze some oceanographic data. I'm trying to create a plot of temperature data at various depths over a period of time. I intend of creating a graph which appears similar to this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9hbGg.jpg" alt="time versus depth with colors for the temperature of ocean"></p>
  
  <p>Any assistance will be wonderfully appreciated. I have been research matplotlib's contourf function but really don't know where to even start.</p>
