linkaxes is often used to link axes limits between multiple axes but in this case, your axes have different units and different spans of data. You could use the LimitsChangedFcn to set the xlim of each axes in response to a change in xlim within one of the axes. Here's a demo showing how to implement this suggestion:
Basic steps outlined in the demo
- Set the initial x-limits and store the xlim values for each axes
- Assign a LimitsChangedFcn to the axes that you want to interact with*
- Use the callback function "syncxlim" defined in that demo to sync all of the x-axis limits any time one of the xlim values change.
* If you only want to interact with the top two axes, apply the LimitsChangedFcn to those two axes and turn off default interactions on the remaining axes using disableDefaultInteractivity. But all 4 axes handles still need to be passed into the LimitsChangedFcn callback function.
