How to plot a world map using netCDF file

I downloaded air temperature file from http://esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.crutem3.html I have been trying to plot the ame data on a world map which should look like this:

The data for the plotting is from a netCDF file.

v1=get(handles.popmenu1,'string');

v1=str2num(v1);

vardata=ncread('air.mon.anom.nc','air');

set(handles.axis1,'string',num2str(vardata));

I imported data, but I am unable to figure out how to plot it in the world map. The dataset is of matrix [36 x 72 x 1973] and I am trying to plot the data monthly.The world map in figure 2 is only for reference purposes (for location of the map on the GUI).

Can someone help me, please?
