Hi Diljit,

Here I can see the .grd file. To convert a .grd file to .mat file you may use the following link:

grdread2 - File Exchange - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)

From there you can download this add on and use the command

Z=GRDREAD2('filename.grd') %it will return the matrix Z

Hope this Helps!
