Here something like that (for a temperature-profile in the soil):

set grid
set terminal gif animate delay 0.1
stats "reform4anim.csv" nooutput
set output "animated.gif"
set xrange [0:15]
set yrange [-200:10]
do for [i=1:int(STATS_blocks):4] {plot "reform4anim.csv" u 2:1 index 
(i-1) with linespoints t "\@time","" u 2:1:3 index (i-1) w labels t 
"","Bodensonde_Statistik_h.csv" u 3:1 t "max" lc "red","" u 5:1 t "min" 
lc "blue","" u 4:1 t "avg" lc "black"}
