[gradsusr] Control file help

[Hervé KPANOU]

Hi,
       I am pretty new to grads, and trying to create a control file for the following data characteristics, and everything looks very confusing to me. It is monthly  sst data from 1870 to 2014. Would greatly appropriate help in creating a control file from the information provided below so i read the data in grads.
           Cordially
