NOAA and NASA have had a project going on studying El Nino in the Pacific and its impacts on the U.S.:

"The current major El Niño presents an unprecedented scientific opportunity for NOAA to accelerate advances in understanding and predictions of an extreme climate event and its impacts through research conducted while the event is ongoing. ESRL's Physical Sciences Division (PSD) is playing a central role in the NOAA El Niño Rapid Response (ENRR) field campaign to determine key mechanisms affecting El Niño's impacts on the U.S. and their implications for improving NOAA's observational systems, models and predictions. The ENRR campaign spans the central and eastern tropical Pacific to California. Multiple types of observing resources will collect measurements from the air, ocean, and ground between January and March of 2016. Of particular interest is the increased risk for intense wintertime storms and heavy rainfall affecting the US West Coast during this year's very strong El Niño."
