You have a bit of a problem: your has three independent inputs, and one output, so you need a 4-dimensional plot . The plot c that you show is for a fixed time, t1, not the general equation.
If you have the Symbolic Toolbox, probably the easiest approach is to use a piecewise() equation, subs() in a fixed time, and fplot() the result. If you do not have the Symbolic Toolbox, either use logical indexing to construct your answer, or else just compute over the three y ranges separately and concatenate them together.

N = 50; %subdivisions per dimension
xmin = -1; xmax = 101;
ymin = -160; ymax = 160;
tmin = 0; tmax = 3600;
xvec = linspace(xmin, xmax, N);
yvec = linspace(ymin, ymax, N);
tvec = linspace(tmin, tmax, N);
[X, Y, T] = ndgrid(xvec, yvec, tvec);
maskx = 0 <= X & X <= 100;
masky1 = -150 <= Y & Y < -50;
masky2 = -50 <= Y & Y < 50;
masky3 = 50 <= Y & Y <= 150;
xi = zeros(size(X));
mask1 = maskx & masky1;
mask2 = maskx & masky2;
xi(mask1) = xi0 * v*T(mask1)/(2 * L) .* (1 - cos(pi/50*X(mask1))) .* (1 - cos(pi/100*(Y(mask1) + 150)));
xi(mask2) = xi0 * V*T(mask2) / L .* (1-cos(pi/50*X(mask2)));
xi(mask3) = xi0 * v*T(mask3)/(2 * L) .* (1 - cos(pi/50*X(mask3))) .* (1 - cos(pi/100*(Y(mask3) - 150)));
random_time_idx = randi(length(tvec));
random_time = tvec(random_time_idx);
x_for_t = X(:,:,random_time_idx);
y_for_t = Y(:,:,random_time_idx);
zi_for_t = xi(:,:,random_time_idx) / xi0;
surf(x_for_t, y_for_t, zi_for_t)
xlabel('x (km)');
ylabel('y (km)');
zlabel('$\frac{\zi(x,y,t1)}{\zi_0}', 'interpreter', 'latex')
title( sprintf('time = %.2f', random_time) );

Do you have the symbolic toolbox? Did you read about piecewise? Did you read about logical indexing?
