How to position a data, in an array of coordinates?

How to position a data, in an array of coordinates? I want to create an array of longitude, latitude and temperature? I don't want to interpolate, just position the data.

example:

I have the data in columns

Lon =

   -78   -76   -77   -76

Lat =

   -29   -29   -30   -31

T =

    12     8     9     9

and I want to position in an matrix, like this ¡

Lat =

   -29   -29   -29
   -30   -30   -30
   -31   -31   -31

Lon =

   -78   -77   -76
   -78   -77   -76
   -78   -77   -76

T =

    12   NaN     8
   NaN     9   NaN
   NaN   NaN     9

An array such as

[Latitude, Longitude, Temperature]

with the values down the columns ?

[uLat, uLat_a, uLat_b] = unique(Lat);
[uLong, uLong_a, uLong_b] = unique(Lon);

T = accumarray( [uLat_b(:), uLong_b(:)], T(:), [], @mean, NaN );
[Lat, Lon] = ndgrid(uLat, uLong);
