The long GRB 221209A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33031; BALROG localization:
Kunzweiler et al., GCN Circ 33032; Fermi GBM observation: 
Bissaldi et al., GCN Circ 33034; AstroSat CZTI detection: 
Gopalakrishnan et al., GCN Circ 33037) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 05:50:25.591 UTC on 9 December 2022
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1354600238/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).

The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T-2.0 sec, peaks at T+0.9 sec, and ends at T+5.0 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 3.2 +/- 0.4 sec
and 1.3 +/- 0.1 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1354600238/

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