We have developed an automated technique that identifies small scale flux ropes through recognizing strong core fields coincident with bipolar signatures. Recently a new class of flux ropes have been discovered with much smaller time (~1 hr) and length scales compared to day-long magnetic clouds. Previous automated surveys of interplanetary flux ropes in the solar wind have found that the majority of the flux ropes were small scale (2-10 hours) rather than large scale (1-2 day). Our automatic method is more robust than earlier methods for detecting flux ropes of all scales. We have tested our automatic detection method by comparing the results of a year of WIND data visually surveyed.
