function [specpts]=ww3_specpoints(modelgrid,spec_res);
%*************************************************************************
%this function uses the model grid to determine specpoints along the 
%boundary of the grid which are then used in the loaddap_ww3_2TPAR function
%
%modelgrid=name/location of grid used in the model
%spec_res=number of grid points between spec points/resolution of spec
%points
%
%the output for this functions is saved in the working directory as
%specpts.mat
