  "abstract": "In this paper, as a continuation of our previous work on the low-lying heavy-light meson spectra, we systematically study the mass spectra and Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed strong decays of the higher $3S$-, $2P$-, $2D$-, and $1F$-wave charmed and charmed-strange mesons within a unified unquenched quark model. It is found that coupled-channel effects induce sizable state dependent mass shifts, which modify the relative level spacings and lower the predicted masses compared with conventional quenched calculations. The newly observed $D_{s1}(2933)^+$ reported by the LHCb collaboration could be identified as the low mass axial vector state $D_s(2P_1)$ via the $2^1P_1-2^3P_1$ mixing. For the broad structure $D_{sJ}(3040)^+$ observed earlier by the \\emph{BABAR} collaboration, the $D_s(3^1S_0)$ assignment seems to be favored over the high mass mixed state $D_s(2P_1^\\prime)$. Meanwhile, the $D(3000)^0$ signals reported by LHCb cannot be consistently explained by any of the considered $3S$, $2P$, $2D$, or $1F$ assignments. Our predicted masses and decay properties of the missing higher $D$ and $D_s$ mesons may provide useful information for future experimental searches.",
