plotting second y axis with pcolor command

Is it possible to prodce a pcolor plot with 2 yaxis?
Consider the following example:
clear all
temp = 1 + (20-1).*rand(365,12);
depth = 1:12;
time =1:365;
data2 = 1 + (60-1).*rand(12,1);
time2 = [28,56,84,124,150,184,210,234,265,288,312,342];
figure;
pcolor(time,depth,temp');axis ij; shading interp
hold on
plot(time2,data2,'w','linewidth',3);
Instead of plotting the second dataset on the same y axis I would like it to placed on its own y-axis, similar to the plotyy command. How can this be achieved?

You can do this by creating another axis on top of the existing one in the same position. You can then play with transparencies.
Ex.:
figure;
temp = 1 + (20-1).*rand(365,12);
depth = 1:12;
time =1:365;
data2 = 1 + (60-1).*rand(12,1);
time2 = [28,56,84,124,150,184,210,234,265,288,312,342];
% create the first axis
pcolor(time, depth, temp'); axis ij;
% get axis position
axPos = get(gca, 'Position');
axLim = get(gca, 'XLim');
% Create a new axis that is transparent where data is not present
newAx = axes('Position', axPos);
plot(newAx, time2,data2,'linewidth',3);
set(newAx, 'color', 'none');
set(newAx, 'XLim', axLim)
