It should be sufficient thru most of the year. You might want to check out any of the heater manufacturers sites for heater size calculations starting with the brand you have or have in mind or call them. By the way, heaters are not classified as either in ground or above ground -- the heaters do not know the difference.

What BTU rating should a heater have for a 32'x16' full sun dropped liner inground pool?

Depends on location and heat-up time. Taking into consideration wind and heating demand, I would probably go with a Laars 325 or 400 BTU heater. If high wind is a problem, a Laars 400 LT/LX could be the answer. The larger the heater, the faster the heat up time, and fewer days of waiting for target heating temperatures to occur. And fewer days of heat loss. HM Louisiana You also have to take into consideration the gas supply line size. This dictates and can limit the size of heater. k
