Thanks for this,

With the data i have what is the best method to convert it into the required 
matrix, as i am a little unsure how it would be done - i imagine this must be a 
common task?

You can't convert it.  Your data doesn't form a surface.

You could fit a model that had a prediction surface, but there isn't a single best way to do that. It depends on the best model for your data, which depends on much more than just the set of points.

Those points don't form a surface that wireframe could draw.  cloud() would 
work, but if you want a wireframe surface, then the FD values need to be 
something like what persp() needs:  a matrix of values, with rows and columns 
being combined values from Elevation and Temperature.  wireframe() is different 
in that the matrix is presented as a column in the data, with the rows and 
columns repeated correspondingly.

See the g dataframe produced in example(wireframe) for an example of the right 
sort of structure.
