Why is Typhoon dot known by another name in other parts of the world?
Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA
Title: Typhoon Dot (1985)
Passage: Typhoon Dot, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Saling, was the strongest storm of the 1985 season.  Dot originated from a small area of thunderstorm activity in early to mid October.  The system was first classified on October 11, and steadily intensified over the next few days.  Dot attained typhoon strength on October 15, and subsequently entered a period of explosive deepening, which was not anticipated by forecasters.  The next day the intensification rate slowed, but that evening, Dot attained its maximum intensify.  A steady weakening trend began on October 17, though the system maintained typhoon intensity through the passage of the Philippines.  After entering the South China Sea late on October 18, Dot briefly re-intensified, only to weaken as it approached Vietnam.  On October 21, Dot struck Vietnam while still a typhoon, but dissipated the next day over the high terrain of the nation.
Title: Typhoon Nuri (2008)
Passage: Typhoon Nuri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Karen, was the 12th named storm and the seventh typhoon that was recognised by the Japan Meteorological Agency.  The Joint Typhoon Warning Center recognised it as the 13th tropical depression, the 12th tropical storm and the 8th typhoon of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season.  The name Nuri was submitted to the World Meteorological Organisation's Typhoon Committee by Malaysia in 2003 after the name Rusa was retired in 2002.  The name Nuri is Malay for a blue crowned parroquet, a type of parrot.  The name Karen was assigned by PAGASA to a tropical depression for the second time, the other time being in 2004 to Typhoon Rananim.
Title: 1985 Pacific typhoon season
Passage: The 1985 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1985, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.  These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.  Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.  Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA.  This can often result in the same storm having two names.
