Making a Map Image from a Matrix

Hi all, I am trying to make a map based off data from a text documents containing daily surface air temperature. I attached 2 txt files as a sample. I am trying to create a map based off this.
This is my code:
inputdirTA = 'C:\Users\john\Desktop\TA2004daily'; %directory of folder containing data
S = dir(fullfile(inputdirTA,'*.txt'));
for k = 1:numel(S)
fnm = fullfile(inputdirTA,S(k).name);
vector = load(fnm);
mtx = reshape(vector,72,144);
if k == 1;
DataTA = [mtx];
else
DataTA = [DataTA mtx];
end
end
figure(1);
rv = [0.4 90 0];
worldmap('world');
geoshow(DataTA, rv, 'displaytype', 'texturemap');
C = load('coast');
plotm(C.lat, C.long, 'k');
title('Map of Surface Air Temperature');
I am getting this map:
But I am trying to get this kind of map:
I understand the concept of having to create 3 planes of the matrix, but I am having troubles understanding the syntax.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

T = flipud(reshape(load('TS20040101.txt'),[72 144])); % loads, reshapes, and orients the data correctly
[lat,lon] = cdtgrid(2.5); % creates a 2.5 degree global grid
pcolor(lon,lat,T) % plots the grid
shading interp
cmocean thermal % sets the colormap
borders('countries','color',rgb('gray'))
xlabel longitude
ylabel latitude
You could even take it one step further and interpolate to a high-resolution grid, then plot with hillshaded topography:
% Create a 0.1 degree grid:
[lati,loni] = cdtgrid(0.1);
% Interpolate the temperature data to the high-res grid:
Ti = interp2(lon,lat,T,loni,lati);
% Get elevation data on the high res grid:
Zi = topo_interp(lati,loni);
% Set ocean elevations to zero:
Zi(Zi<0) = 0;
figure
surf(loni,lati,Zi,Ti)
shading interp
view(2)
axis tight equal
cmocean thermal
shadem(-10) % applies hillshade

Very cool Chad. I voted for it to give Chad additional reputation points. John, you can also vote, to award Chad extra points.
