Abstract
A generalization of a Parker dynamo is constructed for a solar dynamo wave in the framework of the alpha(2) omega dynamo. A criterion for th e applicability of this approximation is obtained. This criterion is s hown to be different from the corresponding criterion for disk models of a mean-field dynamo. Asymptotic solutions for the dynamo considered are constructed in the kinematic and nonlinear cases.
