Abstract
We develop a method of asymptotic expansion for nonlinear dynamo waves. Such an expansion can be considered as a generalization of the Parker migratory dynamo which included the back reaction of magnetic field, generated by the dynamo, on the properties of turbulent motion in the convective shell (e.g. helicity). We follow the ideas of Proctor and Spiegel (1991).
