The long GRB 211227A (Swift detection and refined analysis:
Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 31316, Lien et al., GCN Circ. 31326;
MAXI/GSC detection: Tominaga et al., GCN Circ. 31319;
https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/other/211227A.gcn3) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 23:32:07.476 UTC on 27 December 2021.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script, the GCN
notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure which starts
at T-0.6 sec and ends at T+77.2 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 64.5 +- 10.3 sec and
22.0 +- 2.0 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1324683113/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
