Short summary
Global satellite navigation systems are commonly used for timing and synchronization of instrument platforms. These system clocks periodically roll over from limitations in discrete counter math. Due to the rarity of these events (19.6 years for GPS), special consideration must be given to designing instruments intended for use in hard-to-reach locations like the Antarctic Plateau. A few best practices are presented to prevent total system failure from unexpected subsystem faults.
