Time-pulsing Gaussian peak

Equation: z = 10 * exp(-(x^2 + y^2)/10) * (1 + 0.4 * sin(t * 2))

The shape stays the same; only the peak height oscillates between 6 and 14. That is an amplitude × space split.

Watch the color band: as the peak drops, the rainbow compresses because the color scale tracks the z domain.
