Abstract
The paper establishes extra invariant in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of rotating and stratified fluid layer. This invariant is conserved adiabatically, i.e. approximately over long time. The existence of the invariant is interesting by itself, as such invariants are extremely rare. However, in addition, this invariant appears to be connected to the famous dynamo phenomenon.
