MATLAB: How to color a mesh by temperature(or other value) preserving the elevation. Using two matrix(same length)

3d plotscolormapelevationMATLABmeshtemperaturatemperaturetopographic

I have a mesh that plots a terrain with values in a matrix Z(NxN), i need to color this whit the temperature value in every heigth set in another matrix with same length T(NxN) preserving the corresponding elevation.So my problem is that it only colors depending on the height.

% dummy data
[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:0.5:10,1:20);
Z = sin(X).*cos(Y);
T = X+Y;
% plot
surf(X,Y,Z,T)
colormap('hot')
colorbar

To remove extra elements and convert to square matrix

A = rand(82580526,1) ; 
l = length(A) ; 
% GEt the nearest perfect square 
N = floor(sqrt(l)) ; 
% Reshape into required matrix 

iwant = reshape(A(1:N*N),N,N) ;

To append zeros and convert to square matrix

A = rand(82580526,1) ; 
l = length(A) ; 
% GEt the next perfect square 
N = ceil(sqrt(l)) ;
% Append zeros 
A = [A ; zeros(N^2-l,1)] ; 
% Reshape into required matrix 
iwant = reshape(A,N,N) ;

MATLAB: 3d plot with different length of x and y

As per the you data sizes, following is also allowed

contour3(x,y,z');

Note: I presumed that x and y are continously increasing or decreasing.
