If one divided data to 3 subsets training/validation/test and Which of these can be defined as a criteria to select the network for regression?
1- validation performance
2- test performance
I really would appreciate any advice.

For what kind of data you are doing this ?

what is your climate data. Tell me also source like ECMWF etc? also tell me for which you(either missing or some other data) want to consider validation?
The reason to ask these terms , for the batter solution

I have posted MANY detailed explanations of the separate data-division roles of the training, validation and testing subsets in BOTH the NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS.

Do I Need to ? Well, it depends on who you want to impress.
My goals are, typically,
1. Obtain an unbiased estimate of Rsqtst >= 0.99 using as few hidden nodes
as possible.
2. Summarize the design details via a Ntrials vs numhiddennodes
dimensioned matrix of Rsq results for each of the 3 datadivision subsets.
The training results are adjusted for the loss in degrees of freedom via
dividing SSEtrn by Ndof = Ntrneq-Nw (instead of Ntrneq) where
Nw is the number of estimated weights.
Rsqtrn = 1 = MSEtrn/mean(var(ttrn',1))
Rsqval = 1 = MSEval/mean(var(tval',1))
Rsqtst = 1 - MSEtst/mean(var(ttst',1))
Rsqtrna = 1 - MSEtrna/mean(var(ttrn',0))
3. Summarize final results via a 3-colored plot with the best Rsq values
for the trn, val, and tst subsets vs number of hidden nodes.
Hope this helps.

The focus is on
1. Obtaining the smallest net that can achieve Rsq >= 0.99 on
unseen data that has the same summary characteristics as the
design data.
2. Presenting supporting evidence that verifies, without a
doubt, the qualifications of the net.
I can think of no better way to accomplish the above than
via multiple design results summarized via
a. Four Ntrials by numhidden Rsq matrices
b. Four curves on a plot of maximum Rsq vs numhidden
How could a purchaser of the net be satisfied without the supporting multiple design evidence?
Hope this helps clarify the need for multiple design results.

If you are doing missing data immputation for climate data then you may use this method.
(1) Makes different interpolations on your kind data
(2) Select performance parameters like , RMS error, AME, R^2
