If it's that clear a feature, can you model it with a polynomial surface and then subtract that from the data and work with the de-trended residuals?

Even when I'm mentioning some specific terms they can be considered as any general variable, X and Y coordinates and a, b, c, d, e variables. I have a dataset (in my case seismic data) which is decomposed using the Gauss-Seidel method into five different components (source, receiver, shot, cmp and line). This decomposition is based on the contribution of each component to a final measured value (let's call it global amplitude) What I get at the end are five tables with XY coordinates and the corresponding value for each location (component amplitude). When I plot a map of XY coordinates vs the decomposed value (source) I can see that another component (cmp or geology) is leaking into the component I want to work on. This is, an underground river is interfering so much in the "global amplitudes", and the component of interest (source) is being affected by this strong response. Is nothing else but getting a map with green colors (because I'm not expecting much viriations in the component of interest) and a strong red lines with the shape of this river. What I want to do is to remove or filter this component (source) and make it statistically consistent with the rest of the survey. I have smoothed the data but this means spreading this undesired values around the survey, and also set a maximum limit allowed for my "component amplitudes" but then i'm taking away usefull values from other locations. Can anyone suggest a method to perform this filtering? is there any? something like location consistent statistical analysis? Please give me a hand with this...
