At 18:23:55.00 UT on 20 July 2016, the Lomonosov BDRG  Gamma-ray Burst 
Monitor (http://lomonosov.sinp.msu.ru/en/scientific-equipment-2/bdrg )
triggered GRB 160720A (Hamburg and Burns, GCN 19724).
GRB 160720A has  complicated LC, duration >87s, very
with  intensive peak between 18:25:12 - 18:25:22 .
Peak intensity >30 photons/cm2*s in the range 10-800 s.

This Notice was ground-generated.

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in IAC (Tenerife) was cavered IPN error box (Hurley et al GCN 
19726)   GRB160720A error-box   23696 sec 
after notice time and 30794  sec after trigger time at 2016-07-21 02:57:11 
UT. The weather is  determined by Sahara dust. The 5-sigma upper limit
  is about 16.5  mag.
