Other than a good ovenized crystal oscillator (OCXO), there is something called a "DCXO" (Digitally-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) that is probably as good as 50 ppb over a moderate temperature range.  See, for example, :    http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1546247&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fiel5%2F4%2F33000%2F01546247.pdf%3Farnumber%3D1546247
