The GRB 130216B (Cummings 2013, GCN 14226) was triggered the Suzaku
Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of
50 keV - 5 MeV at 2013/02/16 18:58:13.41 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a double-peaked structure starting at
T0-3.0 s and ending at T0+4.5 s with a duration (T90) of about
7.44 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was
1.81 (+0.21/-0.35) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from
T0 was 2.62 (+0.46/-0.62) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.0 s
to T0+6.5 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 2.93 (+0.68/-0.35) (chi^2/d.o.f = 12.5/14).
