Remove contour line from unwanted region

Hi all, I am able to plot the contour at specific level. However, I want to remove/white out some contour lines from the unwanted region (between -1 to 1 for X and Z). I can create a white space for a 1D matrix (example from other user) with the code below but I have an issue with a matrix (360x180). The code below is not working for 2D matrix. I want to remove the all the contour line when X and Z is between -1 to 1. I have included my .mat file for X_2D,Z_2D and T_2D. Thank you for your kind response.

%%Example from other user
x = -100:100;
y = -100:100;
inputData = rand(201);
inputData(abs(x)<=10,abs(y)<=10) = nan;
contourf(x,y,inputData,'LineStyle','none');

%myCode
[M,c] = contour(X_2D,Z_2D,T_2D,1.025,'k');
c.LineWidth = 1;
xlabel('$x$','Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('$z$','Interpreter','latex')
axis equal
axis([-5 5 -5 5])
pbaspect([4 3 1])

c.LineWidth = 1;
xlabel('$x$','Interpreter','latex')

axis equal
axis([-5 5 -5 5])
pbaspect([4 3 1])

Then the result is shown as
