The short GRB 230308A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33420; BALROG localization: Kunzweiler et al.,
GCN Circ 33421; AGILE/MCAL detection: Casentini et al., GCN Circ 33435;
Fermi GBM detection: Malacaria et al., GCN Circ 33440) triggered the 
CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 13:32:27.34 UTC on 8 March 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1362317395/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+0.04 sec, peaks at T+0.21 sec, and ends at T+0.37 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 0.29 +/- 0.04 sec
and 0.17 +/- 0.04 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

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