team, report:

The short-duration, hard, exceptionally intense GRB 120816B has been 
observed by Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Suzaku (WAM), and 
Swift(BAT), at about 86299 s UT (23:58:19). The burst was outside the 
coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated the burst to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
   ---------------------------------------------
    RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
   ---------------------------------------------
   Corners:
    341.155 (22h 44m 37s)  +2.156 ( +2d 09' 22")
    342.478 (22h 49m 55s)  -0.731 ( +0d 43' 51")
    334.205 (22h 16m 49s)  -5.388 ( -5d 23' 15")
    332.423 (22h 09m 42s)  -2.756 ( -2d 45' 20")
   ---------------------------------------------

The error box area is 10.030 sq. deg

This box may be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
