Hi,

You'll have to create a vtkPointData instance to add to your surface. You can 
assign the scalar values of each point to that point data, and turn on scalar 
color mode in the poly data mapper. That will display one time-point. If you 
want to do an animation of the time-series, just replace all the point values 
again.
