How to make a scatter plot of a 2D field in a map and add contour lines of a different field in the same map, without the contour command messing up with the color scale of the scatter command?

Say T is a vector with temperatures at specific longitudes(lon) and latitutes (lat) in a certain area.

Batim is a 2D depth field for the same area - say batim(i,j).

The command scatter(lon,lat,50,T,'filled') works fine, and shows dots with different colors (different temperatures) distributed in the domain. But if I add contour(i,j,batim,[100 1000])) or contour(i,j,batim,[100 1000]),'k'), then the T dots will be plot all with the same color.

Please attach some data and your code

The code and data files are too big to include here. The following short code gives the same results, whether you comment or uncomment the contour command:

for n=1:10; batim(n,1:5)=n*100; end

figure(1), hold on, axis([1 5 1 10])

contour(batim,'k')

t = [ 3 2 20

4 4 25

2 8 17 ];

scatter(t(:,1),t(:,2),400,t(:,3),'filled')

Max value of batim is 1000, so MATLAB automaticaly rescale color range for [0 1000]

try

set(gca,'Clim',[0 30])
