This would again fall short of the heat storage goal, but would be simple and cheap, and might make use of local materials for the wall?

Andres Tvauri's overview of the heat storage hypocaust in Estonia, one of the few available resources in English language, provides a wealth of technical details.

Then since the focus of the paper was on the importance of the heat storage in the ocean, a possible next step would be to model what the effects might be if the solar and GHG couplings to the oceans were quite different, which they apparently are.

However, the physics of the change of heat storage is much more related to how heat anomalies diffuse through the thermocline in the bulk of the oceans (not at the poles).

This can be a result of heat storage in summer and release in winter; or of transport of heat from warmer locations: a particularly notable example of this is Western Europe, which is heated at least in part by the north atlantic drift.

In his groundbreaking 1998 study, Klaus Bingenheimer estimated that Medieval Europe boasted a total of 500 hypocausts, of which 154 were of the heat storage variety.

Like Tvauri explains, these heat storage hypocausts rather common in 14th - 15th century Livonia — where the climate was much colder compared to the Central and Western Europe — were born combining the ancient method of heat storage (stones) used by the indigenous inhabitants of present day Finland, Estonia, and Latvia in their saunas for hundreds of years with the hypocaust technology originating from Rome used by monks and religious orders.

Research into the history of heat storage hypocausts continues today.

Lot of heat storage capacity there.

We've gotten better measurements of heat storage in the oceans since sometime in the 1990s (see Roger Pielke Sr.'s blog, lots of entries on this subject, search for «Josh Willis» to start), I think from satellites supplemented by unmanned devices which dive to as deep as 2,000 meters then resurface and send their data to satellite (Argo floats).
