I have 4 types data sets, Daily global maps of Earth’s surface temperature and near-surface air temperature, precipitable water and cloud water path for the whole year 2004. Map covers whole globe at 2.5 degree intervals = 72 x 144 array. How can I make a global map?

If you have the Mapping Toolbox, geoshow with worldmap is usually good for a first pass:
data = rand(72,144);
rv = [0.4 90 0];
worldmap('world');
geoshow(data, rv, 'displaytype', 'texturemap');
C = load('coast');
plotm(C.lat, C.long, 'k');
Note that here I'm georeferencing using a reference vector, rv, which defines your grid resolution (0.4 cells/degree) and corner (upper left corner at 90N, 0E).
Alternatively, if you want more control over the projection, plotting details, etc., look into axesm, pcolorm, surfm, etc.

The plotting parts of the code would stay the same; the only difference would be the data that you pass to the plotting functions (i.e. the x variable in the examples above).
